color: black lava from powerderbuythepound
did the coating in my garage took the calipers apart and removed all the pistons and seals-was scary at first but it's not really a big deal. IMO coating the calipers looks better when you do the halves separately; kinda like a car's paint job looks better when you remove the windows vs. just masking them. but that's just me some important things to remember if you're gonna coat yourself: -make sure the part temperature is at the required heat, not the oven; invest in an infrared thermometer gun -brake cleaner will soften the coating if you let it sit-which will make the finish look dull...it's like pouring thinner on paint so be careful -have a good ground to make sure the powder sticks to the metal -powder sticks the best when your part is as clean as possible so take the extra time to do good prep work, prebake the part to burn off any leftover cleaning residue some useful sites: http://www.caswellplating.com/ www.eastwood.com www.powderbuythepound.com not only can you buy powder and powder equipment but they have useful forums to do research. and i'd suggest a coat of clear to help preserve the color...unless you're going with wrinkle |

amateur night guys
taking apart the halves is risky and troublesome. all good, you'll all find out in due time. if you restore them, dont do a fully disassembly... only the pistons |

White powder coating with black and gold chromate zinc plated hardware.
![]() ![]() Fronts are Stoptechs, but I used the same process: ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is all of the hardware that I plated for the fronts and rears: The 2-piece rotor hat hardware I did in a zinc yellow chromate: ![]() As seen in the pic below, I originally did the rear bolts/pins in gold and was going to paint them in a high temp black. But then I discovered black chromate. So I stripped the bolts and pins for the rears back down then zinc plated them again and dipped them in black chromate. ![]() So this is the black chromate on the Stoptech bolts and crossover lines. They are wet looking because they get a final bath in WD-40 to seal them. ![]() ![]() |

Sick.
So if you want to paint or powdercoat, remove everything, but will it be necessary for a complete rebuild of all new parts? i.e. pistons and seals, or just seals? |

Yea, best to remove all bolts and take out the piston. You have to get new seals because they will melt in the powdercoating process. I can imagine taking out a melted seal w/piston would be a b%$!h
