Powder coat calipers?
I am wanting my calipers to be black.
Local powder coat place will do all four ofr $125. So i just have to take them off and all apart? or can i leave them whole?

at that price I'm pretty sure you will have to strip them down completely, pistons and all. Not many powdercoaters will tackle the disassembly and reassembly. Best bet is to just ask them.

The prep for both paint and powder coat should include acid etching and conversion coating (before people protest, the powder will seal a conversion coating so it doesn't "burn off" in the heat). It is very difficult to prep calipers correctly without removing them.
