Mike is located in Loganville, GA, near Atlanta
Here is a link to his forum profile page. You can PM him there.

You can send him your calipers and he will do them and send them back.

Dealership will remove front caliper for $270 and same for rears.
Local powder coat co. Charge $ 90.00 each for Red calipers.
Almost a $1000 project. Dang it's expensive...

Just thought I'd add my endorsement for Mike ThePowdercoater. He's done three sets for me over the years. His workmanship was flawless on all three jobs. Very fast turnaround too.

Mike did my calipers and asked what color I wanted the lettering to be. I installed mine at 23,000 miles and they look as good today at 138,00 miles as the day they were installed..

Ask Mike what he would charge to powder coat and install them.
Nashville to Loganville, GA is a 4 hour drive.
Probably much cheaper than the dealership.

Been thinking of painting mine Blue but wondered about replacing the decals, came up with this place after searching a while but I have no recommendations about them so far.

You cannot go wrong with Mike...
He did mine and three years ago, and they still look great...no perfect.
Thanks again Mike...
If you want long term value for dollars spent, go powder coating over paint and I strongly recommend Mike.

I was told that I may have to replace the seals due to the process of Powder Coating? What do you think?

Why don't you do it yourself? G2 sells an RPO color code matching caliper kit for $99. $49 for non-color matching. You'll need a torque wrench and 4 new bolts per caliper if you decide to pull the calipers as I did. I was installing new rotors and pads or I would have painted them in place.

GS Calipers are different from his pics.
GS Calipers a little more challenging.
