I recieved a set of calipers that were for somebody’s ///M3. They were originally a polished aluminum and decided they wanted them red. They were painted red with a high-gloss red enamel.(no prep work or anything). As soon as he tried bolting them up, brake fluid leaked on them and immediately stripped the paint. So he sent them to me for powdercoating and also asked to have the lettering filled in with a different color. this is the way I recieved them. ![http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/caliper.jpg](http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/caliper.jpg) ![http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/caliperpainted.jpg](http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/caliperpainted.jpg) the paint was stripped, they were blasted then a layer of powder was sprayed. ![http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/caliperpc.jpg](http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/caliperpc.jpg) finished: ![http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/UUC.JPG](http://ubrf.ddetail.com/lafengas/UUC.JPG) he should be happy with 'em. ---
