Gents,

Does anyone know what powder coating powder I should use to re-powdecoat my brake calipers. I am guessing it needs to be a bit specail to cope with the high service temperature the calipers can run at. Since the curing temp for normal powder is not that high do I need to specify any special manufacturers or powder type.

Many thanks for your help

What calipers are you looking to powdercoat ? I ask because as far as I know, most are painted not powder coated.

I have had 2 sets of calipers repainted by my bodyshop. No special paint required. They still look fine after getting "quite hot" on track wink

These guys are doing a full Brembo repaint / rebuild of my 430 Scud - very reasonable and great quality finish

powder coated. I don't know what year your car is. But in truth just go buy new brake calipers.
