Powder coating stock brakes
So my local metalworks shop routinely powder coats a really nice bright red and said I could stick my brake calipers in the oven anytime. Seriously considering this and wondering what the downside would be?
I'm not concerned about resale. I have an alpine white with a full carbon fiber aero kit. The blue calipers hardly stand out at all. My tow hook and a few accents inside the car are red and the MP electronic wheel gives a racey feel to the looks. I don't really need a BBK as the stock brakes do fine for me at the track. So for basically free I can upgrade the aesthetics. I think the red just looks better on this particular car.
Seems like a pretty easy disassembley of the caliper. They will sand blast and prep before the powder coating.
Happy to help anyone else if they want new color. Or renew their blue.... they also run a routine color for blue, it matches nearly identical.
Any thoughts or suggestions from the peanut gallery?
