+1 for Powdertech. I had them ceramic coat my maifolds and they came out great! My wheels are also powdercoated black from them too. I’m also debating on sending them my calipers, rather than painting them myself. -Prices are reasonable also. ---

Dont bother painting them- theyll rust right thru the caliper paint regardless of how well you clean and prep them. Ive already painted mine twice and theyre still rusting thru even though I did everything I was supposed to in prepping them. I used the High Temp caliper paint Advance sells. ---

powdertech can be quite pricey. I got a quote to do my suzuki frame and it was around $300 for just the coating/baking. I would be doing all the prep work for it (sandblasting, cleaning, etc). But from what I’ve heard, it is very good work. But price is why I went with just getting the equipment myself and so far its worked out great. ---

I prepped the shit out them and cleaned them with paint thinner real good and wiped them off and sprayed them. I did it over 2 years ago and then did them again a few months after that and havent fucked with them since. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/powdercoaters/248050.md?page=2)
