    APAC in linthicum heights.. Although anyone can do it. I have done my own with great results.
    I did back Subaru STi brakes from black to yellow on my legacy.

    APAC does great work. We work pretty closely with them. Im not sure if they do the work or if its their powdercoater , but they also offer vinyl wrap for brake calipers. They also clear coat over the vinyl. The examples I have seen look great.

    Ed, Will Vinyl really hold up to that much heat? I'm shocked they are using vinyl for this kind of application. usually use a high temp paint like G2 haha... but if you say it's safe, i trust ya

    I cant say Ive seen the long term to vouch for it, but they do. It is evidently a "high temp" resistant vinyl and with the clear coat it looked great.

    The company is called BMore Kreative ....http://www.bmorekreative.com/

    I might give it a try

    My concern about vinyl would be more about it holding in heat... But not sure if it's an issue because the real heat buildup should be in the rotor.

    powdercoating looks better than paint, especially in the long run. There are plenty of places in DC area that can do that.

    Hmmm, I'd be interested in doing do them for my rears (I like the idea of being able to remove them later).

    Ed - Does APAC do the work and just uses BMore? Or do you take it straight to BMore?

    APAC does their own work. It's a full function pimp your ride kind of place that does fabrication and paint.

    APAC paints calipers ( I believe), but the vinyl wrap is BMore. I spoke to them yesterday to get a few answers. You would need to bring him the calipers and it would take about a week. It is about $170 for a set ( $340 for all 4 ) probably depending on exact color choice. The clear is powdercoated on.
