Wanted Looking to trade 5BW calipers.

[JLayer]

Probably a long shot but here goes.

Just picked up a 24 CT5 BW. It currently has the grey calipers on it. I'm looking for the red calipers to swap with someone.

If someone is willing, shoot me a message and we can work out the details. If I can't find someone, I'll look into powder coating but I'd rather swap with someone if possible.

TIA

Another idea to throw out there- I have successfully used G2 caliper paint system twice on other cars. What I liked is that I didn’t have to worry about disconnecting the brake line and purging the brake system with the worry of moisture getting in the fluid, etc.
I bought two kits as I jacked up the front and focused only it, cleaning throughly the caliper and taping up everything up. Like painting anything else, the better the prep, the better the result. Then, second kit went to the back calipers. On the last car, an Audi, I added their logo on and clear coat over it. After 3 yrs, no fading or anything. I then traded for my 5BW.
I took my time as I didn’t want to deal with pulling, powder coating and rebuilding the calipers.

Good luck which ever direction you go.

Have you looked into having them powder coated? Some places will even vinyl wrap them in a reflective material too. It might not be a cheaper alternative but it will probably be a quicker & easier alternative.

New calipers aren't nearly as expensive as I would have thought. I believe this is for conventional iron rotors:

Not yet but powder coating would lead to full disassembly which I'm not wanting to do.

Have not thought about wrapping but that might be the least cost effective. I might look into that.
