Had them done years ago on my Vette and fairly recently on my 07TrailBlazer SS.

Pretty much get any color you want. Got mine in Candy Purple and the cost was $200 with exchange. Money well spent. Corvette Pilot did mine as well.

I don't know why people get the powdercoated ? You can paint them (Duplicolor's Caliper Painting Kit) uses high gloss ceramic paint, that looks great and can easily be brushed on (multiple coats) and stays great forever.

It a very worth while upgrade/mod for sure. I'm a little far away from most vendors, so I had mine done locally. It really makes your car stand out.

I too am looking at powder coated calipers. $200 seems like a terrific price..............
Does brake fluid (as from bleeding brakes) dissolve the powder coating? And yes, I usually use a clear plastic tube, but I know I'll get some fluid on the calipers.
