Default Anybody want their CTS-V calipers custom powder coated?

Just thought I'd pop in and remind you guys that I'm around

I just did a set of CTS-V calipers last week. Customer sent a sample of silver vinyl that I matched.

I totally dis-assemble them, strip the factory paint off, media blast, then re-assemble and powder coat. (Installing boots and pistons after coating, I mask off the piston bores of course).

Here's the ones I did last week. Customer supplied the Brembo decal, which I installed and laid clear powder over it all.

Cost is $300 including return shipping for all 4 corners, Brembo 4 pot CTS-V calipers.

I know this is old...but, I am looking for an exchange program to get some powdercoated calipers.

Are you still offering this or does anyone else have alternative suggestions?

thanks

I'm going to get my calipers powder coated as well. I want them the same color as the ZR1's calipers.

You only paid $25 per for them too:

I totally dis-assemble them, strip the factory paint off, media blast, then re-assemble and powder coat. (Installing boots and pistons after coating, I mask off the piston bores of course).

Sounds like a Non-profit company, just saying.

Unless it was a good friend who was doing it as a favor, I would not trust a $25 PC job on my calipers.

I think you should do this and let us know the results.
Then I might have the courage to have mine done.

I'm favoring the ZR1 blue, but considering some other colours for my radiant silver.

My dad has a ZR1, so I'll know if the match is dead-on; I'll pay more for the actual ZR1 paint so that it's exact. I have a local guy that can do the brakes, but getting the color might be the issue.

Sick ! , I'll be getting a hold of you soon for my pc needs. I'm right off randall rd so i'm literally minutes away from you. I used to have "Ready" powdercoating do my stuff a while ago but they went out of business.

It also could be becuase I'm getting my wheels and grille done at the same time so it's a bit of a deal....but I'll find out in a few weeks.
