Question Caliper and rotors paint

Hi guys;
I am willing to paint my rusty caliper and rotors on my 2000 TL.
Do you guys think performance shop will do this kind of job?
How much do you think this would cost?
Any idea or comments on this will be appreciated!
thanks in advance

You can do it yourself man... just go and buy caliper paint and slap it on. Plenty of topics in this forum about it

Testor's model paint works extremely well. I bought a spray can for a few bucks and painted the calipers on my '94 rx7 about 4 years ago. Has held up perfectly. I used a wire wheel on a drill to clean the calipers up a bit first then rinsed the dust off and just covered up what I didn't want painted and sprayed 4-5 coats on each caliper.

It's very easy and cheap to do yourself. I probably should do the TL soon as well since I just put on some new zinc plated rotors a few weeks ago. If your rotors are due to be replaced go with zinc plating, you'll never have to worry about rust on them either!

I just picked up some red DupliColor Caliper paint from Advance Auto and they worked just fine. If I recall correctly, it was only about $15 and it also came with an aerosol can of brake caliper cleaner. I'm probably gonna do the same with the 96' Prelude VTEC I just bought.
