Powder coating Calipers
« on: February 06, 2012, 10:24:21 pm »
Got some R32 calipers front and back and want them re sprayed before i put them on my car because they have marks and chips on them.

Has anyone powder coated their calipers and how much would it cost to get someone/bodyshop to do?


Thanks

You also painted the bits that arent meant to be painted.  :grin: That will be fun when you change the brake pads.
