Thumbs up

I am waiting for my new 4 piston calipers to arrive. When they come, I am thing about having them powder coated red or soe similar color. Has anyone had theres done? Where? How much did it cost? Will a standard body shop normally have powder coating equipment.



I used the Folia-Tech caliper painting kit on my NSX, it turned out OK. I would rather have it done properly this time. Any comments, wise crack, and/or suggestions are welcome.

powder coating would probably look a hell of a lot better than painting. I've never seen a picture of a powder coated caliper though. I dont think all body shop places will have the stuff to do it.

no body shops have the equipment, eastwood sells a nice 2 part

self leveling paint you can brush on, supposed to be good ****.

I would save my money for other **** and just do them yourself

even if you used high heat engine enamel.

The only thing I would want that would get me to go with something besides paint would be something that cleans easier.



Running hawks on my TII, my calipers are pretty grungy right now.

I paid a local place, house of powder, $50 to get my fiero spindles powder coated black... not too bad of a price, came out nice.

Yeah, check for a local shop that does powder coating. I heard about this place in Richmond by their booth at a rods and customs show. Ask around.
