If you want it to look right it should be done by the pros. Painting yourself won't look good at all. If you get them professionally powder coated they'll look like they came that way from the factory.

About how much is that?

2blu · 01-04-2014, 12:46 PM

I had asked around back when I had my G37S and if I remember correctly it's around 400$

AWMSPORT · 01-10-2014, 02:52 PM

Your best bet is to see that shops previous work. Have a look at someones brakes they've done before you trust them with yours...
