Painting Vs Powder Coating Brake Calipers

Paint Is Somewhat Of An Insulator Anyway.

Brakes are exposed to high temperatures with frequent use, and they also frequently get brake dust on them which must be cleaned off with a potent brake cleaner. I just wanted to point out the risks. On average, painting costs about $1,900.

Powder Coating Should Be Much More Durable If Done Right, Probably Be More Expensive, But As You Mention You Have To Tear Them All The Way Down And Then Rebuild Afterward So More Time And Money Involved With That Process Too (Doesn't Appear To Be Difficult To Rebuild).

Also, to the best of my knowledge. The paint will be hardened and more resistant to rocks, and chips, and acid. Nissan 370z forum > nissan 370z tech area > exterior & interior:

The Color Of The Brake Caliper Was Dictated By The Material.

Pistons should not be removed. Powder coating it going to create the strongest bond for the *paint* in this case powder to stick to the caliper. Painting calipers is easier, as you do not need to even separate them (really.but you should).

Stiffening Bridges, Stainless Abutment Plates Or Any Other Parts That Are Not Listed Below Should Not Be Removed.

I am in la, any local shops recommendations and pricing is appreciated. To do that, is it best to have them painted or powder coated? The cost difference is +$100 for powder coating.

Historically, Brake Calipers Were Black, Silver Or A Gold Cadmium Plating.
