BCS (Brake Calipers Specialists) Nottingham are unrivalled in refurbishment & painting of brake calipers. They’ve been doing it, properly, for years.
These were base cast grey calipers. Removed rom car, cleaned, sandblasted, cast smoothed, primed, painted, decals, lacquered...
These were done in Candy Apple Red. Didn’t want standard colour & pop out lovely, especially when sun shining...
Still in same condition two years later & would thoroughly recommend

BCS have done a great job for you there.
Although the candy apple red colour is different to the original 'cast grey' calipers on your car, it's a big improvement and looks superb!
If I ever wanted a full refurb on all 4 calipers I'd certainly keep BCS in mind.
After speaking to my Jaguar main dealer service dept the other day I was surprised to find out that their bodyshop also does brake caliper repainting......I didn't ask for the price though! What I did ask is if they had a paint code for the calipers but they couldn't provide me with this.

Thanks, I’ve seen the thread.....viewtopic.php?t=4750
The BCS Ferrari red you used is a nice bright red colour.
I did my rear calipers with the E-TECH Red Brake Caliper enamel paint which is bright red (see pics). When I tried touching up the much larger front calipers with it (only a few small areas needed doing) the difference in colour was more noticeable as the E-TECH looks more of an orange/red colour. This is why I've been trying to find a near perfect match for the front calipers for future touch-ups etc.
