Default Paint Rear Calipers on V8

I’ve seen a couple of V8 Carpathian vehicles advertised online with the rear callipers painted to match the front.

Does anyone know a place to get it done in the south of the U.K. and where to get the paint?

Thanks

Not sure if this is compatible but VHT has SP732 closely colored to the blue front calipers.

Why are my calipers "L'Orange" front and rear on my X and your V8 doesn't have matching front/rear. Completely stupid move from Land Rover.

^^ I’m sure that’s probably been discussed in V8 threads before (how could it not be?) but yeah, this is the first time I’m seeing this. It is absolutely baffling. It may be the most PepBoyz looking gaffe I’ve ever seen out of a car manufacturer, other than the entire Civic Type R. “Oh, dude, they were like almost out of HiTemp Plastidip and I got the last can — would only do 2 of them. I’ve got more on order but, you know, chip shortage and all.”

Whatever the true explanation is (and I hope TheInsider offers it at some point), it cannot possibly excuse or justify this astonishing lameness. Painted calipers being totally unnecessary, YA JUST LEAVE THEM OFF IF YOU CAN’T DO THEM BOTH!

I heard that the front and rear were made by different manufactures and one painted them while the other did not. Pretty bad oversight on that.

If you don't feel like powder coating, G2 will custom match a color for you with high-temp caliper paint (not touch-up paint).
