Im wanting to re-powder coat my brake calipers and I ran across Amor tech Powder coating, http://www.armortechpowdercoating.com/ . They told me there is no need to disassemble the calipers as they take great care of the seals and pistons. All I have to do is drain the fluid This worries me since every other company insist they are stripped down before they powder coat them. What do you guys think? I have no prior experience powder coating brakes. Thanks

I have a powdercoating shop and if the client doesn't want to put new seals on the calipers, then it is no problem as the seals are not affected by the mild sand/soda blasting nor by the powdercoating process.
I did my c7 calipers this way 15.000 miles ago

i was concerned about putting them in an oven and messing up the seals. So is there not an oven involved?

Yes it is, but the temp is way lower then a red hot braking rotor

Any one who is telling you it's OK to powder coat your brakes with out taking out the seals and boots is crazy. Can it work? Sure it can... but why would ANY ONE want to risk brake failure because the shop doesn't want to OR know how to rebuild them.

We have probably done more powder coated calipers for C5, C6, and C6 Z06/ GS and have ALWAYS installed them with brand new seals and boots
