We have the seals and boots needed but generally we don't paint them sorry generally because we have to send them away and the cost becomes to great as i do not have the time to do them in house.

The Brembos on my previous FG Turbo had flaking paint. What I ended up to doing was I removed the calipers, taped up with inner piston surface with heavy duty fabric tape and then carefully grit blasted the old paint off. I didn't remove the paint on the inner caliper surface around the pistons as it was ok and can't be seen anyway. Then had them etch primed and repainted. Topped off with some brembo stickers from ebay and they came up really well. Considering my issue was only cosmetic I decided to work around having to remove and replace the pistons and seals.

I did similar when I painted mine - they were red, and they're now orange on the face and ends, and red at the back (where you can't see). I used VHT caliper paint and heatproof brembo stickers from ebay (I was very skeptical, but they're still stuck after around 10,000km of some gentle, and some hard, braking)
