Powder coating brake calipers
I'm looking into having my brake calipers powder coated, and I'm wondering what others have paid to have this done. I'm talking about just dropping off the car and having someone do the entire process, not removing the calipers myself and taking them in.
TIA

I certainly wouldn't want a powder coater to pull and reinstall my calipers, so I am hoping you're taking the car to a reputable shop to get them sent out. I have removed calipers on a different car and had them powder coated. The shop got powder in the caliper bores. I was pissed! Took hours to get that stuff off without tearing up the caliper bores. If I were to pay for the entire job, I would expect to pay about 350.00
