Have been quoted £120 to respray all of my calipers as there looking very dated now, loads of paint flaking off.
Is that a fair price? Its to sandblast and spray.
Or shall i just spray them myself, or will it look total pants?!

As alex said dude.Get some high temperature paint,a few brushes,some sandpaper and you're ready to go.You'll get it done within a decent full day or so.It'll only cost you about £15 too.
I did mine and im abit of a fussy bugger but was quite pleased with how they turned out.

Done my mates a couple years back - wire brush them down then hammerite smooth paint!
Thinking of doing mine as they're a bit faded too but not sure if the hammerite red paint will make them look tacky (too bright or something)
