New a pair of front calipers shot blasted and painted/refurbed any recommendations?

Biggred do them.

All I done was wire brushed mine down cleaned them with brake cleaner and painted them silver
You can buy a calliper paint kit off ebay

I'll second the above. They are the best price all in from my experience.
It is easy to do yourself though.
Hammerite is fine for the brakes.

 

[Mr R.]

I've just done Sharkeys front calipers for his Trophy.

BiggRed kits are great if you fancy having a go yourself. They seem to get very positive reviews for their in house refurbs too. They're certainly very good with customer service based on my dealings with them. If I wanted some rebuilt (by someone else), then they are who I would go to.

@Phase1sr.... snap!

Looks fantastic buddy . I may have to get a set of bits for my rears if the piston is seized
