If you powdercoat the calipers, will they fade like high temp paint will?

 

anyone?

 

Get g2 paint, they offer custom colors.

 

I've painted mine myself with Rustoleum of all things. It's been on the car for 2+ years including shitty, salty, snow NJ winters and they've actually held up really well. A few little chips every now and then, but I just touch it up real quick when spring rolls around. To do all 4 cost me literally $3 No complaints.

 

I don't really like the painting idea cause it looks too "globby" plus I heard that powdercoating lasts longer under extreme heat. Any confirmation on that?

 

I have no "globbing" or fade on mine and it's been 2.5 years. Just my opinion but no one can tell the difference 'til you're literally 6 inches from the caliper.

 

I used g2, have 1 chip on drivers side that you cannot see unless you get in there and look towards the back and it has been almost 3 years. If you are that concerned and want to fork the money just get them powder coated. Powder coat can chip too just fyi.

 

I used VHT Gold caliper paint and i've had it on for a little over a year now, I've had no problems with them chipping or fading. Just make sure you clean them really good prior to painting and you should be good with whichever decision you go with. Powder coating or painting.

 

I know it can chip, but does it fade like the paint does? Basically I don't want to have to repowdercoat these things every so often, I want it to be a one time deal.

 

powdercoating is a one time deal, but you cant powdercoat your brembos without having to rebuild them with new parts after. so powdercoating brembos doesnt come cheap.

 

No I don't think it will fade, but neither does my paint
