Power Coating Breaks?

[KT3]

how much were they trying to charge for powder coating?

Between 330-400$ (CAD) So Idk what that is in US but it would be way cheaper since the dollar is so bad here haha

$330-400, or about $250-295 USD, for a good powder coat job, plus a full rebuild, isn't too bad. Of course, you also have the labor for the removal / install if you can't DIY, and that includes bleeding, etc.

Powder coating.

It's Powder coating.

Well, if we're going on pedantic on this thread, it's also BRAKES ...

OP, what color are you thinking about? If it's red (which would look great on your white car), then you could always just score some OEM Bullit calipers (if your car is a PP, if not, you'd also need rotors, etc.)

I recently painted my calipers and rotors with G2 paint. Not a hard job but does take some time. I just have to finish the job putting Brembo stickers back on then spray some clear caliper paint.

OP, I firmly believe anyone that can write their name cam do a decent job painting their own calipers with the G2 kit. The hardest part is getting the calipers really clean. Once they are clean and rotors are masked off, use the kindergarten paint skills that we all have. Paint let dry, Paint, let dry...and keep doing this until you either use all the paint or just get tired of adding more coats, and then apply the clear and let dry again. I did the ones on my Fusion and they came out ok.

I’m thinking a bright red - I’m gonna have them paint them with whatever high end grade paint they have. I have SVE R350 rims now so i don’t want to changes my BRAKES. (lol)

that’s the route I may go when it times to do brakes although that maybe forever lol!

I'm thinking about doing the ones on my car...but hesitant because I like how the wheels accent the green currently.

I was thinking about pulling a trigger on these - seems easiest and has lifetime warranty on film

That’s not a bad ideA either. Just looked and the mustang Bullitt break upgrade is almost 3k

I wonder why they show the difficulty of 4 out of 5? Oh, it is film...I'm guessing that would make it hard to install.

I think the difficult part is to jack it up and remove all 4 wheels, clean the calipers real good, put wheels back on. It's not like working externally with easy access. Either way, agree it should be pretty easy install.
