I am planning on powder coating my calipers bright red when my cobalt arrives. Any thoughts?

 

i never like it. it looks cool at first but it seems like they get beat.

i had the red Z06 calipers on my ws6 and those stayed nice as far as not getting chipped, but it does kinda suck keeping them clean...especially when you run a performance pad that dusts alot.

 

I used this stuff and havent had any problems

Powdercoating can get pretty expensive!

 

I have a local shop who will do it for $100.00. But I have to purchase the seal kits. I had our bodyshop paint then bake my calipers on my Z28 and never had any problems. I just know powder coating is more durable.

 

Are you talking about Twisted Edge? They have calipers listed as $30 on there site. They have a shop minimum of $50, but might give you a break if you're a member on the other css.

 

No, it's Miller Welding in Washington.

 

I painted mine with the G2 Caliper paint...looks great and is holding up well.

looks like you did a great job. i like it

for myself, i still prefer the stock graphite color but for someone looking to paint/powdercoat, thats a nice example.

 

I used the same stuff
