Default Powdercoat Calipers
I am thinking about having my calipers powdercoated. I know I need to rebuild them to do this but I do not know where to get the kit. Also some info on the degree of difficulty would be helpful. Thanks

Come with instructions? I like to think I am pretty mechanically inclined but you never know

Nine of my local parts stores can get rebuild kits. How would you powdercoat your calipers without removing them?
