    My guess is that the callipers were fully removed from the car, stripped and prepared correctly with cleaner, pre-paint, etc. before a hard coat/powder was applied.

    Once you take all that in to consideration then the price is pretty good.

      £400, pretty good ? Sheeesh.

      Its a bit labour intensive taking the wheels off, then putting them all back on again. But that is quite a price
      Couldve got Brembos for that LOL

        I don't think you've had a powdercoaters price for a while biggie. To Split my 'rarri wheels, Strip them of existing paint, Powdercoat them in a colour of my choice and build them back up again was still cheaper than that. ALOT more labour intensive too as there's 40 splitty bolts on each wheel !

          You're right Bigfeet. All four callipers were removed, cleaned, painted a few times and lacquered. They cleaned the discs and refilled the brake lines. They kept me informed during the hole process so I've no reason to believe they weren't doing anything but a sterling job.

              So long as you're happy with the quality of finish, price doesn't matter
