Default AP calipers refurbishment

Anyone do it ..my calipers are all fine and working apart from looking a little tired now , don't want the usual hammerite brush look thats all

I'm busy with other stuff so don't mind sending them off to be done properly... any recommendations lads.

I've got some rattle cans in the shed

AP do offer a refurb/repair service. No idea on costs, can't imagine they'll be the cheapest, but at least you know the they'll be rebuilt by the same guys that probably put them together in the first place!

Bigg red quoted me 815 +vat to do all 4 of my AMG brembos. That's 2 x 6 pots and 2 x 4 pots.
That includes a complete strip down, sandblast, prime, colour, decals and lacquer, all new pistons, seals and rubbers and to come back to me in15 days as good as new.
They told me they only do complete rebuilds with repainting though and not just repainting on its own.
