sunset orange brake calipers
hi I am a powder coater and recently did a full set of brake calipers for a sunset orange corvette.
here r some pics of before and after!
after cleaning u can see how awesome they looked...
here is the paint i had to match too..
and here is what i GOT!
after 3 more trips back to the dealer ship to look at car and compare samples i made
here they r all finished up.. one more bracket was in the oven coolin down so i didnt wanta wait another 20 mins to get pics cause it woulda been dark.. but here they r.. goin to the dealership tomorrow to drop em off..
was able to get up there after hours and snap some pics of it in the showroom before it got sent back out

typically would cost around 160 to 200 to coat these... just because i am cheap!! but the owner was responsible for removing the pistons from the calipers and that.. if any of you consider it let me know! i can post a link or create a powder coating thread for those to view..

ooo nice job! I want to do this myself as well.. I have a DSOM and was wondering where did you pick up the paint (did you use a special type of paint?)... also, how or what did you use to clean the calipers before you applied the paint?
