Very nice! Can you share who did the work and cost if you don't mind?

I did everything except the coating. Wasn't to bad, the rears are the hardest part.
I had a local place coat them called a1 coating. They did a great job, all the threads were free of debris along with where the seals sit.

you put these on

have a1 coating do another set, just like them,

sell the new powder coated ones to me, then I sell my stocks...

I agree with the above post and we can keep it going

I'd do it but keep in mind it's not cheap up front but once you sell the calipers you take off its not bad. The coating isn't expensive but there is also quite a bit of work to get them done, I probably have 3-4 hrs into them in dessasembly and assembly so I'd have to make up for that. the fronts are simple, the rears are a pain in the ass and need a few "extra" tools to get the job done.

OMG! Those came out beautiful. That is exactly what I want to do to mine. Is A1 a big company? How much did you pay for the extra set from the dealer and for coating them? Thanks!

Looks great, OP! Pardon my sheer ignorance, but I've seen several people that have painted or coated their calipers, and I have been wondering how that works with the Brembo logo. Is it a decal that is peeled off or reapplied?

Awesome! Do you have the part numbers for these? Tried digging around on the ford parts website and can't figure it out.

It's just a high temp vinyl sticker. Stock the brakes have them painted on but a sticker is just fine there are a ton of places that offer them. I'll have to look at my receipts and get the part numbers when I get home from work.
I'll have to get the pricing when I get home, I'll give list prices since the deal someone gets all depends on the dealer and if you know someone. The coating was $170 for the 4 calipers and 2 brackets. The stickers were like $14 since I went with good ones and not the cheap eBay ones.
A1 coating is a decent since place, the turn around time for these was only 2 days. Very happy with the quality, they masked off what they needed to and not a single thread has anything in it.

Just remember there is a core charge of $50 on top of that.

Correct. I was shocked at how cheap they are. Hell, the stock GTPP brake pads are $200.

The part number you have listed is different then the one I have but they may be the same. I'll have to double check. Year they are cheap for 6p calipers lol that's why I bought an extra set. The rears are like $100 or so each and the brackets I can't remember but like $40 each, I'll have to look when I get home

Thanks. It said 5.0 with performance package. There are 2 other part numbers for the 5.0 without PP and a much cheaper price. I think about $89 for those.
