I thought about powder coating mine, but prices are between $65-120 for each caliper and they must be completely stripped down. that seems pretty steep for a non show car. I am going to paint instead

I can certainly understand saving money not spending as much money

IMO painting will not give you my above results but much less work and expense

To powder coat: Everything comes apart, Everything gets Cleaned, Powdercoating, Decals
Clear Coat Over Decals, Reassembly of Calipers, Bleeding of Air, Shipping of Calipers

No doubt a better finish, just not for me since its pretty much daily driver in summer

Just a reminder to get your Bleeder Screws SNUG/TIGHT after Bleeding Air from your Powder Coated Calipers

On the Above Orange 2012 Grand Sport, I had one Bleeder weep fluid onto the center of the inside barrrel
of those $$$$$$ Wheels causing the Clear Powder Coat to Peel...........

I plan to sand the barrel and coat with automotive clear paint ...IF I can get adhesion ?????
