powder coating calipers

[IAM_SO_sLOw]

i have a quick question.... when powder coating calipers do u have to take apart the caliper on z32 brakes? like will the seals melt in the oven?

on my calipers i sent it out and they brought it back with everything coated. i think i know of a PC shop down by valley in la puente. not to far from west co. hey solo do you have an sr? if you do i think i migh tneed your help. thanks man.

When I got my Z32s done I gave it to them with no pistons, no rubber seals, and no bleeder screw. I don't know if it's an absolute necessity, but it's a much safer bet. It doesn't take much at all to disassemble or reassemble them, just compressed air and a block of wood to put in between the pistons so they don't smack into each other when you pop them out.

o isee.... nah i dont got a SR lol

o its because my moms BF owns a powder coating shop but he never did calipers before so he asked if i knew becuase i wanted to get my z32s done.... i have no experiance w/ taking apart calipers so im kinda scared =(

how much heat can the rubber seals take?

If they're in need of rebuilding or aged it doesn't hurt to go ahead and take them apart before coating. Otherwise the shop should have overlays to cover the entire area. They'll also put plugs in all the threaded holes to prevent them from being impacted.
