I’m sure that has nothing to do with why they came out like shit after 6 months.

my logic is simple when it comes to wheels and calipers getting colorized. its a part thats on the outside of the car. its exposed to the elements. it gets pelted by rocks, sand, grit, dirt, salt, snow, hot pieces of brake pads, brake dust and all kinds of shit out there. it goes through hot/cold/hot/cold cycles constantly and is under stress all the time. same with the calipers. painting them lasts only a little. unless its a show only trailer queen car, do it right and get that shit powdercoated. its a durable as hell finish. its tough to get that shit off. so for years to come itll still stay on. paint will chip off, especially on a daily driven car thats being driven year round, not jsut a summer daily.

I was going to just paint them myself, but I figured it’s worth the money to have them done right.

Well when I actually build my oven, it will be large enough to fit probably all 4 20’s at a time… lol. I plan on making it large enough to easily be able to do motorcycle frames, etc. GOtta get the steel and what not…but its kinda hard to do on a budget of $0.00… lol. When I do it, it will have a seperate piece that I can hang the part off of to spray it then roll that whole assembly into the oven so that it will minimize the amount of movement that the part requires. Then I will have another rolling “cart” that will be more of a tray to hold parts that dont require 360\* coating.
