Are white calipers even possible??
I always wanted white ones but the fact of brake dust making them black within a day is my dilema,is there a way to clear coat with a opticlear or something to keep the dust from sticking?Any examples out there?

If you don't track your car, then it works. I had my Stoptechs white for
Years, repainted them twice. They will turn yellow if you get them super hot...

I don't see why not! If you're doing it yourself, you can get some brake paint (hi temp) and then apply the appropriate logo'd sticker thereafter.

Also. Thepowdercoater is my go to for powdercoating brakes. Its his specialty. I dont think hes taking new customers now though.
Or send them to elicit design solutions. Check them out and talk to christopher. He can do a high temp wrap on it that will hold up.

You know it would be a pain but have done on hi heat parts before. Use a masking on the powder coated white and make the letters you want use a exacto knife to CAREFULLY make the letters sharp.
Then use colored epoxy or epoxy hi temp epoxy paint in the areas you want. You can after the epoxy takes an initial set then carefully remove the masking and use the blade and a magnifying instrument and CAREFULLY take off any of the red that may have migrated under the masking or to make the straight areas and curves perfect.
Then after a few hours it is tack free or use a light as a source of heat to help it along but not too close--target 120 and that will make RTG in about 6 hours or so.

Also if your worried about the sticker for a powdercoat. You should find a good powdercoater. Most will have high temp vinyl and vinyl cutter. Thepowdercoater has this. He does the base color coat. Adds the sticker perfectly and then clears over it. So to the touch it feels smooth and oem and the sticker wont peel and looks good everytime you wash

I think white would look amazing on the AW... I changed my brakes to Carbotech 1521s and coated the rims and calipers with CQuartz at the same time and brake dust is reduced significantly.

I agree, the powdercoater does great work. They used to have cores to swap out. Good luck
