I picked up a StopTech BBK, but sadly the calipers got all scratched up during shipping. I searched for powdercoating places, but only found shops for wheels. Anyone have recommendations for a good PC shop, preferebly in the OC and able to retain the StopTech logos? I am willing to go extra miles for a quality job.

 

ill let you know if i find something cause im trying to do my stoptechs also.

 

I know a shop, but I don't have the info on me right now. I will let you guys know as soon as I find it.

 

Why dont you paint them?

Here's some of their work!

 

^^ Looks like some sick work.

 

Satan, have you had a personal experience with that shop?

Fucy, are any of those on your car? How do the logos look in person?

Boo!!!! Kustom can't retain the logos and Lucent only works on Brembo calipers

 

I also need to re-do my stop techs, they are flaking a look like chit, Ill let you guys know if a find a good shop.

 

so far everyshop i've talked to can do it but cant retain the stoptech logo.

 

This is were stickers come to play!

 

Yea I have a vinyl machine. im just going to get mine powder coated then make some new stickers for them out of this brushed aluminum vinyl i have

 

Just an FYI for those who are interested in getting parts like brakes powdercoated...most processes involve baking which means you will need to replace all rubber/plastic parts on the calipers after they are powdercoated.

 

so far the only places i found that are able to retain the logos are on the east coast...one is a shop that i've heard on this forum alot, www.thepowdercoater.com. the other is a new sponsor...trgcoating. i'm hoping to keep this job local though and avoid the whole shipping headache, since the calipers got fukced up once shipping over my way.

George, those vinyls sound like a possible solution. Do you know how they would hold up against tracking heat?

 

I have heard that these guys also repaint brembo calipers. http://www.girodisc.com/

StopTech calipers are actually painted. It's a two part epoxy paint w/ the logo screen printed onto the caliper. Our calipers are assembled after the paint process. Brembo calipers are assembled and then painted as you can tell from the pictures above. See that the cross overtube, and certain hardware has paint over it.

 

^^^ how much is it or is it even required to get the calipers "re built" after powdercoating??

 

Well you will need all new seals, so you could try doing it yourself or call the dealer and see what they would charge.

 

I should add that I'm not familiar w. the end results of repainted StopTech calipers. Results may vary.

Unfortuantely, I'm not complete familiar w/ the powdercoating process. Rebuilds are warranted based on functionality of the calipers.

 

those brembos look nice...i wonder how the paint will hold up over time?

 

temperatures in powder coating will not be higher than the operating temperature of the caliper it self anyway. My friend powdercoats at home, and he's already done his calipers fine.
