calipers
Can someone hook me up with somebody who does the caliper paint on an exchange basis?
I think I want LMB calipers.

The Powdercoater does an excellent job. Got the Candy Apple Red, they are killer!
He ships them then you ship back the exchange units, took 3-4 weeks at that time. My dealer put them on upside down! Be sure to look at the calipers before and after the dealer does his thing.....

Paint or powdercoat are the same. The only exception is, whoever paint the calipers is

Paint and powdercoating are NOT the same. You certainly can paint them yourself cheaper, but powdercoating is much more durable. It is baked on. I love my LMB powdercoated calipers that Mike did for me.
