ABOUT OUR CUSTOM BRAKE CALIPERS

Professional Brake Caliper Color Change in CONNECTICUT

Brake caliper color changes are one of the fastest-growing trends in automotive customization, and for good reason. While calipers may go unnoticed when your car is parked, they become highly visible as your wheels spin, creating the perfect opportunity to add a bold, custom touch. From sleek factory-style finishes to vibrant colors, logos, and custom designs, brake caliper customization transforms your wheels and sets your vehicle apart.

HOW WE GET IT RIGHT

Brake Caliper Customization Done the Right Way

At The LAB, every caliper customization begins with a process built on precision and care. We remove the calipers from the vehicle before any work begins, ensuring full access to every surface for a complete and uniform finish. This allows us to prepare the metal properly, apply coatings evenly, and protect critical components.


Our technicians use professional-grade tools, controlled environments, and proven techniques that deliver lasting results. From surface preparation to final reassembly, every step is handled with meticulous attention to detail—so your calipers look and perform their best for years to come.

HOW IT WORKS

OUR PROCESSES

At The LAB we offer two ways to customize your brake calipers; Powder Coating and Painting. Learn about them here.

Our Powder Coating Process

Powder coating is the ultimate choice for durability and longevity. We fully disassemble the calipers, remove all seals and hardware, and sandblast the housing to bare metal. The calipers are then coated with premium powder and baked in a professional oven at 400°F to create a finish that bonds permanently to the surface. After curing, the calipers are reassembled with fresh seals, brake lines are reattached, and a full brake bleed is performed. This process ensures a factory-level finish that lasts the lifetime of your vehicle.

Our Painting Process

Painting offers a cost-effective alternative while still delivering a premium look. The calipers are removed, prepped, and refinished in a controlled spray booth using high-quality paint systems. Since the calipers remain assembled, this process avoids the need for a full reseal kit while still achieving a flawless, professional finish. While paint may not be as resistant to rock chips and debris as powder coat, it remains an excellent option for those seeking customization at a lower investment.

CUSTOM BRAKE CALIPER COST FACTORS

PRICE FACTORS FOR custom brake calipers

Caliper Size

Calipers can be 4-piston, 6-piston, or even 8-piston. This means if we are powder coating, all of those pistons and seals around them need to be removed, and the seals will need to be replaced with new ones. With paint, the piston count will not affect the price.

Color Chosen

Some powder coat colors are more expensive materials where, as some are single coat and some are two or even three coat which requires more spraying time. Some paint colors are more expensive than others as well. For instance, pearl white is going to cost a bit more than solid white.
