Title: Powder coating Calipers
Post by: Banham 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
