Painted mine using Folia Tec caliper paint. Easy to do and it still looks great after five years. If you want powdercoating, contact Mike (goes by Corvette-Pilot on the forum). His web address is ThePowdercoater.com (1-888-644-7221).

Here are my current set - powdercoated and hand lettered. I highly recommend Mike (a.k.a Corvette Pilot) at http://www.thepowdercoater.com
POWDERCOATED BEFORE INSTALL
POWDERCOATED INSTALLED
Before my current set - I hand painted my calipers using the G2 Folia-Tec kit I bought at Xtreme Motorsports. They didn't come out as nice as the powedercoated, but only because I didn't know what I was doing and I didn't spend enough time being careful and doing the job meticulously.
