Default Powder coat Calipers

Do we have any vendors on here that powder coat calipers to colors such as Yellow? I see a vendor on Ebay, but i wanted to check here first. Unless someone has a set for sale that are already done.

Here’s one option I am aware of that is a forum vendor.

I painted mine myself, with the understanding that I can touch them up later if need be -- especially as long as you don't use a catalyst style painting system, which means all of the paint you mix up gets used or it sets up later that day. The paint holds up well, and you don't tie up a lot of investment in the project. The cost of having it done might be absorbed in an aftermarket caliper with 4 pots or so, as long as you indicated that you would be willing to deal with bleeding the system because you removed the originals to send them out. In the attachments first is a catalyst style brush on I tried, but the red ones are an old kit I've had around for a long time, and brush on as well.

As mentioned above, TPS offers that service and from the pics, it looks like they turn out great.

I also painted mine and looks great,

i cleaned the caliper few times with brush and soap,
then I used That Awesome yellow degreaser liquid and cleaned again
after that I sprayed automotive paint degreaser used right before paint,

in went and bought high temperature spray paint and few mixing containers,

I sprayed the can paint inside the mixing container, when the container had enough paint, I used soft fine brush to carefully paint the caliper,
I did few coats because spray paint is thin and it doesn’t cover with the first coat,

15 dollar investment for all 4 calipers

done deal.

+1 for TPS. They powder coated mine several years ago. I've been VERY happy with them ever since. There has been no cracking, chipping, or fading despite my having used the brakes HARD.

TPS Motorsports did mine several years ago. They did a custom color to match Millennium Yellow. They still look great!
