We encourage all customers to read this section
By engaging our services or using our website you are bound to the following terms and conditions.
*"WB&EC" shall mean "Wheel Buddy & Easy Calipers" or any agents or employees thereof.
WB&EC as advertised paints brake calipers while they are still attached to the car.
We work to the best possible result working by hand while they are still attached to the car.
this method of caliper painting does have some limitations
: - an example would be that spray guns do not work when tilted beyond an angle they are designed to work under ,
because of this limitation some areas of the brake caliper are not fully covered with paint, primarily the very back of the caliper which is not visible on normal viewing.
Our service promises that on normal stationary viewing of the vehicle everything visible is painted and presents close to if not exactly the same as a factory painted off the car caliper.
No refund or warranty claim is able to be made as such on light coverage / not enough coverage / not glossy enough for areas where the spray gun would need to be upside down or not at a working angle or an area deemed not visible from standard viewing of the car while parked.
A warranty will only be valid if the light coverage or not covered area is directly visible area from normal viewing of the car while parked stationary and where it is deemed a spray gun would have easily covered the area and if its deemed as an area missed by the painter and not an operational problem with equipment ( *applies to all packages )
No Warranty or Refunds is available for improper care of calipers after they have been painted. This includes using products containing acids, mechanical failures with your car, brake fluid leaks, stone chips or 3rd party damage from wheel fitment or others working in that area and anything that is not the direct result of WB&EC workmanship.
All painting packages come with a 2 year warranty covering the durability of the paint and any flaking, peeling, cracking or bad fading or other serious defects are fully covered under warranty.
