What we do
A painted caliper puts color where the eye lands, between the spokes. We deep clean each caliper, sand and mask it, then build up a heat-resistant coating in layers. Brakes run hot, so the coating is made for heat, and the layers give an even finish: factory-quiet black, silver or graphite, a bold color, or lettering.
The finishes · Three ways
Factory quiet,
or not at all
- OEM-style
- Black, silver or graphite, the way a factory might have done it.
- Bold color
- A bright color that shows through the spokes.
- Lettering or accents
- A name, a word or a contrast line on the caliper.
Not sure which? We talk it through with you before anything is masked, and you choose from there.

In the bay · Four steps
Cleaned, masked,
coated in layers
- Deep clean. Brake dust and grime come off first.

- Coat in layers. A heat-resistant coating, built up one layer at a time.
- Inspect. Every caliper is checked before the car goes home.
On the car
Seen through
the spokes
On the car, a caliper is seen in slices, between the spokes. A bold color catches the eye from across the street; an OEM-style finish looks as if it came that way.
Calipers are priced by the car. Call (626) 577-7648 or ask for a quote, and staff confirm the price before any work starts.

From our customers
I recently went to VIP to have tint installed on a fleet vehicle, black car service SUV. I'm extremely happy with the results and I'll continue to use their service. Ceramic film is the way to go! The staff and owner are true professionals who educate you on the service & products they offer so you can make informed decisions, no hard sales, just facts.
I've been a customer with VIP Auto Customs for well over a decade. They do outstanding work. I've never felt pressured or upsold on their products which I find rare these days. I highly recommend.
I highly recommend VIP Auto Custom's for all your window tinting needs. It was easy to get a quote and set up an appointment. I appreciate the competitive pricing and quick service. My window tint came out flawless—no bubbles or imperfections! Thanks Robert!
Super easy process and affordable (I called about 10 places in the area and they had the best prices and soonest availability). Looks great and I appreciated how efficient they are.
The folks there were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I was concerned about how dark the tint will be and they explained the process that made me feel very comfortable about going forward. I would highly recommend these folks!!!
Great customer service, friendly and professional, super quick and efficient, and no pushy or intimidating sales tactics. HIGHLY recommend!

is masked
Can I get my calipers painted?
Yes. We paint calipers at the shop in Pasadena. Tell us the car and the finish you want, and staff confirm the price before any work starts.
How are brake calipers painted?
In four steps. Each caliper is deep cleaned of brake dust and grime, then sanded and masked, so nothing that should not be painted gets paint. A heat-resistant coating is built up in layers, and every caliper is inspected before the car goes home.
How long will painted calipers last?
Brakes run hot, so we use a heat-resistant coating, built up in layers for an even finish. Ask us what to expect for your car before you book.
What finishes can I choose?
OEM-style black, silver or graphite, the way a factory might have done it. A bold color that shows through the spokes. Or lettering and accents: a name, a word or a contrast line on the caliper.
Is painting brake calipers worth it?
It is about the look. A bold color catches the eye from across the street; an OEM-style finish looks as if it came that way. Not sure which? We talk it through before anything is masked.
How much does it cost to paint calipers?
Calipers are priced by the car. Quick Quote has no caliper option, so call (626) 577-7648, and staff confirm the price before any work starts.
