Brake Caliper Painting Sunshine Coast
Painted calipers are one of the most effective — and most overlooked — upgrades on a performance or prestige vehicle. Auto Emporium uses 2K and DeBeer Refinish coatings for a finish that handles extreme heat without peeling or fading. Pair it with our Wheel & Caliper Package from $799 for a complete brake bay transformation in a single visit.
"The guys at Auto Emporium have done an awesome wheel respray and brake caliper painting on my Honda. Exceptional workmanship, knowledgeable and super friendly staff. We will definitely be back!"
Why Choose Brake Caliper Painting From Auto Emporium
From the factory, painted calipers are reserved for sports models — Porsche, Ferrari, AMG, M-Series. On everything else, the standard unpainted caliper is functional but forgettable.
Done properly, it's not a rattle can job. Auto Emporium acid-washes, applies a ceramic heat base layer, then finishes with DeBeer Refinish colour and 2K clear — a result that handles repeated braking without peeling or fading.
Most jobs turn around in one to two days. The Wheel & Caliper Package at $799 combines caliper paint with a wheel refinish in a single visit.
- Any colour, precisely matched: DeBeer Refinish colour-mixing system — not rattle cans or off-the-shelf paint
- Heat-rated process: Ceramic heat coating base layer before colour application means the finish survives real braking conditions
- Custom decals: Roland professional sticker cutter on-site for brand logos, custom text, or any design applied under clear coat
- Wheel & Caliper Package — $799: Caliper paint combined with wheel refinish — the most impactful brake bay upgrade available in one appointment
"Robin and the team absolutely blew it out of the park with this black-out on our X5 including new wheels and painted callipers. We had great communication at all times and their eye for detail was superb."

Deep cleaning of the calipers using specialised acid to remove brake dust and grime, followed by extensive masking of the vehicle and brake components.

Ceramic Base Layer
Application of a high-temperature ceramic base coating designed to handle extreme braking heat and provide a solid foundation.

Colour & 2K Clear
Application of DeBeer Refinish custom colour and any requested decals, sealed under a durable 2K clear coat for a high-gloss, chemical-resistant finish.

Yes — it's one of the most cost-effective visual upgrades available. Beyond aesthetics, it protects the metal from brake dust buildup and corrosion.
Yes. We use the DeBeer Refinish system to match any shade precisely — factory colours, custom mixes, or anything from your build theme.
Yes — automotive-grade 2K paint and clear coat throughout. DIY spray cans can't handle brake heat and will peel quickly. Our process won't.
With proper preparation, it typically outlasts the time you own the vehicle. Our process — heat-rated ceramic base, premium colour, 2K clear — is built to last.
Yes. We decontaminate, sand, and prep the surface fully before applying primer, colour, and clear — even over old peeling paint jobs from previous work.
Yes. We have a Roland sticker cutter on-site for any logo or custom text — HSV, Brembo, AMG, M Sport, and more. Decals are applied under the clear coat so they can't peel.
No — all caliper painting is done at our Caloundra West studio. Outdoor painting exposes wet paint to dust, wind, and moisture. Our controlled environment ensures a lasting result.
