From my old car....some random high temp gold paint from auto zone and red touch up paint for the letters. Cheap, but I thought it was pretty cool. Gonna powdercoat this time around though.

The more you need done the more it cost... pretty much like anything in life. And prices will vary greatly between locations and regions. So it's not going to do you any good to find out what other people have paid. Just go into your local powder coating joint and ask them for a rough quote. I guarantee you they have done calipers before and should be able to give you an idea of what you are looking at.

see guys, this is what happens when you get too many posts -- too much bullshit. Example below:

The piston seals & dust boots, you can remove. No sense in being a miser about that since most people overhaul them during rebuild. Damn... I never thought I'de be the smart guy around here. Shows you that even idiots like me can know something if you do it long enough. |

What calipers are these? R32 GT-R? Call me a hipster but I don't like how z32 calipers have "ribs" on them, for lack of a better term. Purely cosmetic but I prefer the smooth look like this.

B.I.N.G.O.
R32 GTR calipers and rotors (brand new Nissan rotors, actually) These look so much cooler than any of the Z32 brakes. HOT BRAKES. HOT LOOKS. clearcorners.com

Splitting the z32 caliper to powdercoat shouldn't be a problem... as mentioned you can get the entire rebuild kit including the rubber seals you need after splitting them in half here
Front Brake Caliper Rebuild Kit Shouldn't be a problem if you want to keep them together either. Anyone use clear coat on their calipers and NOT have it yellow? All the ones I've tried have yellowed and flake. |

I am actually planning on doing something very similar to this. Looks great! Do you know the color name/code? Do you have any pictures of the whole car with them installed? Thanks in advance!

Not trying to say other ppl in here are wrong BUT....there is NOTHING wrong with separating the calipers. Have rebuilt quite a few z32 calipers and my brembo calipers on my old 350z. Worked great!!! Lots of ppl will say don't separate em but for those that have, I'm sure they can confirm also there isn't anything wrong with them, work perfectly fine after you put em back together. Just sayin...

FSM says things for a reason, i'de have to say that the FSM in almost all cases is correct. furthermore, what specs are you using for torque values? all of this matters. bottom line, not disassembling the halves is LESS work and perfectly reliable. to-date, i have NEVER heard of one caliper halve leaking. has anyone seen this before? |
