I wanna do my calipers (Bo inspired me). If so, what colors are available?

why not just high-temp spray paint?

it'd save on the downtime and it'd be cheaper.

but if you really want powdercoating, there are a few places in town that do it. i'll see who my roommate got to do his wheels if your interested.

Paint would be fine if it could handle the temperatures. If it'll work, I'll use it. Otherwise, let me know about the PC'ing. That'd be great.

I have not heard of anybody in town, and am interested to know also. You can get a kit from Eastwood and do it yourself if you have access to an old kitchen oven (would not want to use the one in your house!).

you can use the brake caliper paint that they sell at Pep Boys...I have had it on my Tiburon's calipers for almost a year and not one bit has started peeling or flaking...

Thanks, thats kind of a get the phone book out and look "no brainer" there. I think powdercoating rocks, and i would always lean toward it over paint if affordable and practical.

Powdercoating is cool, but plenty of people have used engine/caliper/hi-temp
paint on their calipers and not had any problems.

Could it be done with some metal polishing compound and a dremel with the right head attachment?

I want to do something to mine too, but I can't paint-match them, they'll look fugly. I was thinking either gloss black, or polished...

I may have to call them to do my k-member and a-arms instead of painting them. How much you think it'd run?

BMR (http://www.bmrfabrication.com/pc.htm)

This place is located around central FL. Great service and parts for f-body guys. I think they charge $50 for calipers plus shipping... which is UPS meaning you will get your parts next day since its in FL

Here is a sample of their pc: http://www.bmrfabrication.com/pc/wp-manifold.jpg
