Default Brembo Calipers, where to get painted?

I finally got some brembo calipers, got them at a good price, but the paint isnt the best on them, has anyone had theres painted before? if so where did you go?
i would need to the old paint taken off, or atleast rubbed back, and then resprayed, i want a proffesional to do it is i want them to look like brand new again.

if anyone is able to recommend someone would be much appreciated!

I believe Phil Foster at AFM in ossie park has perfected the brembo colour

A.F.M. Industries

He can be quite busy but his work is top notch

Thanks for that, ill give him a buzz

I have considered Lime Green, but im unsure if it will suit, what do you guys think?

But on a more serious note, i have considered going black with white logos, but i think the gold will look awesome against the dark blue of the car, behind the charcoal grey 18 inch sti enkei's!

They're not real brembos until you have made them turn brown from heat

funny you say that, these ones have gone the browny/coppery looking colour!
hence why im doing the seal kit, wont be taking the risk.
but i got them cheap , so im not complaining
just though if im doing the seals may aswell get the paint done!

if you could please jester would be much appreciated, im gonna try get onto brembo themselves and see what they can do.

cheers for all the help guys,
any other suggestions if these guys are too busy, want to get them done asap?
