Age old question...caliper color?

[Jeff's FRC]

I’m going down the same path. I am upgrading from 4 position to 6 piston brembos... I plan on painting them before putting them on the car.
If you powder coat them don’t you have to rebuild them?
Thanks

Rebuilding the Brembos is extremely easy. Its the rear calipers that are a pain in the ass!

Btw, the seal kits are available on Rockauto and are very cheap.

You don’t have to rebuild them, or break them all the way down. Remove bleeder screws, and brake shoes. The powder coater can mask off the piston surfaces when they sand blast them and powder coat them, or at least that’s what they did with mine. Look around for a powder coater with experience doing them, and they should be able to tell you in advance how far you need to break them down.

I went with a lime green powder coat. Looks good with velo blue.

I just painted my wheels satin black hyperdip this last weekend. I have a Kona blue 2018 with bright metallic green stripes from BigWorm. I'm definitely painting my calipers and the center cap ponies green to complement the color scheme of my car. G2 is sending me samples of their standard green and lime green colors to figure out which one will look the closest to the racing stripes. I'm guessing the lime green will look better since they will be shaded behind the wheels. Hopefully I won't need them to do a custom color request, as that costs basically twice as much to order.
