Hey,

I recently purchased an '03 A4 1.8T and have some surface rust on my calipers. It also looks like mold has grown on them, as I can see white-ish dots on all the calipers in addition to the rust. Since I have the sport package with stock 17"'s, you can really see through the rims.

Any suggestions for finding a GTA garage that cleans rust, or the cost to replace all 4 calipers with something decent?

Any suggestions would be great!

Well you could get them sandblasted and powdercoated. Most people just take a wire wheel on a drill to them to get rid of the rust, then they paint them with a Duplicolour Caliper painting kit.

 

If you are a DIY type, check out this link here on a write-up I just did.

Just wanted to give an update:

I took it to Eurospeed in Toronto on Dupont. They sandblasted and painted my Calipers with aluminum/silver heat resistant paint. They also changed the rotors. IT LOOKS UNBELIEVABLE. Better than almost any other painted calipers I have seen... ppl keep commenting all of a sudden that my car looks "brand new". Its almost as if they simply replaced all the calipers. A truly professional job and I highly recommend them!

 

Wow, damn my double posting.

 

Sounds good, how much did it all come out to if you don't mind my asking?

Is this them? http://eurospeed.ca/

 

The rotors, caliper work, new pads, balancing + oil cleanse/change came to about $1,200ish + tax.

 

p.s yes that's the site...eurospeed.ca
