Hey guys,

I took advantage of the nice weather this weekend and removed the brakes from all four corners of the S. I'm replacing the OEM lines with SS ones, and replacing the pads + rotors, and hardware.

I had originally planned on just cleaning up the calipers and painting them. But from everything I've heard it's better/more durable to powder coat them.

Does anyone know a good place in C-bus for powder coating? Maybe an estimate on $$ if you've done it before.

Also, I know i need to mask off some things (the brake line hole, the bleeder hole, the piston hole, and the face the pads sits on) after I clean them, before coating. I know I'll need to rebuild them once i get them back.
Can you guys offer anything other pieces of advice?

Thanks for your help.

~Mike

Chris aka reddog21 had his done a couple years ago by a shop in the c'bus area. His also came out very nice and anyone that knows him knows how, er, particular he is with his s. Shoot him a pm.

 

We use to have a floater set of calipers to use as cores since the calipers need to be rebuilt after powder coating, but that was a few years ago.
