Ivan, you can get a good quality powder-coating paint kit and do it yourself for like $40. I did mine and they came out very good. The paint hardens to a near power-coat thickness and shine. Its not powder-coat but it looks damned close and its a fraction of the cost.

Gan...

Powder coating is a process not a paint, just a little FYI. But for what its worth, I'd paint the things like Gan did. Much cheaper, easier, and will probably look close to as good.

Why spend the money?

LiQuiDiCe,
Talked to Joe a few days ago ... he is still around and will powercoat calipers for local members. If you want, PM me and I will give you his contact number.

Alex,

Powdercoating does not hold up on the track if you are driving hard... Trust me.

I had mine done, by Joe, and it all chipped off at the track. Honestly the hi-temp paint held up much better at the track.

If your going for the bling bling look for the street, powdercoating will look the best though.
