Powder Coating Brembos?

How is everyone painting/powder coating their Brembo calipers. I want to powder coat mine, but I've heard that once you take them apart, they're useless. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

This might be my only option. I've talked to him previously about this. Only problem is it's pricey. Can you PM me as to how much you spent on powder coating? I already know the price for the calipers. BTW, this is Andrew. I added you on Facebook today.

from what I heard the best option is to buy brand new calipers.. send them in for coating and sell your original ones

Thanks David for your input. Looks like I'll be doing this as well. Did John also powder coat yours?

sorry to revive an old thread but if i were to take my callipers off and get them just painted and not powdercoated i should be fine right? They wont be baked and thats what ive seen the concerns were, just wanted some opinions.
