If you painted or had your calipers powder coated... step inside

Mike the Powder Coat guy - he's done a bunch of them on this forum do a quick search and you'll be sure to find him.

I think the color is just a very close match. I would say its spot on. You wouldn't tell the difference.
He has a waiting list, but i sent mine to him and left the Camaro on stands. Good opportunity to fit Eibach springs

I hear you. I’m hunting around for a good powder coater myself. Not sure if I want to go Black chrome or black. But I do know the stockers are staying. IMO I think it’s one of the best looking wheels for our cars. Powder coat my calipers red and I’m happy. Although Havoc would look sweet on your car.

what is the TSB for? brembos?

and sorry for my noobishness, what are these "roller skates" i keep hearing people referring too?

[advfire]

it was my understanding that if i was to powdercoat the units they would have to be striped down to bare metal, is there a way to coat without that,

My question is this, once I do the exchange with him and get a new set of calipers back for exchange. What will happen if I put the new calipers back on without the wheel weights? I DO NOT want to reinstall those weights back on to my new powder coated calipers. What is the fix? New Pads? Can I buy the roller skates for mine through the dealer? If so, how much are they?

Thanks Guys.

I can probably help. Jekyll N Hyde and myself spoke to an engineer of the brakes at Oshawa.

What I understood the wheel weights were added that under some wet circumstances the brakes are noisey. He mentioned that when you use them for a little while the noise goes away.

I came in as I painted my v6 calipers.

Yeh the rollers just connect to the pads. I stuck with the same factory pads for now so they are on the painted calipers now. They dont bother me, you dont even really notice them unless your looking really hard for them

[ddavis]

As for the weights, I didnt have any on mine

Thanks for all the help guys.
