400 way to much, max maybe 50 bucks a caliper. That is a price up in Canada too. $400 to powdercoat a cailper is insane. Hell a house door only costs 275 bucks to powder coat!!!!!

Find someone else to do it!!!!!

Amiricanmade What ever you think looks best, you are going to get varied opinions on what to do, but in the end, you are the one driving it. Personally, I would PAINT them! IMHO

depending on your car color u should go with either red or black the stock gold is garbage the whole point of this scene is to be unique and personalize our rides so go as far away from stock as you can

I was going to powdercoat mine but got scared off when people were telling me I should replace all the seals and rubber parts afterwards so I just left them as is.

If you arent afraid to take your calipers apart, theres a place in Anaheim that will powdercoat them for around 40 dollars. Contact Mike at Nu-Tec 714-632-5045

I didn't pursue it. Endless wanted $600 to replace two brake lines so I was afraid to ask how much it would be to rebuild the calipers

$2000 (going rate for oem brembos on the forum) + $400 powdercoating = almost as much as just buying red stoptechs
