Default Powder Coating Brake Calipers

Any place near me that powder coats brake calipers? And anyplace or anybody near me that knows how to polish up my brake calipers before it gets powder coated?

Southwest Ranchess, Florida 33330

I plan to get the LG brackets so I get some C5 rotors, but I want to get my brake calipers looking good first, I don't know how to put on the LG brackets so I might have to go to someone.

I'll try that, These are the Florida sponsers I could find.
BMR Fabrication, Crane Cams, LM Performance, Norris Motorsports, Rev Xtreme, and Vinci Hi-Performance.
Unless you specifically meant 3 which I don't know of.
So I'll just call up and ask " Hey, know any powdercoating places? "

My friend prepped, sanded, primed, and painted the calipers on my Formula. 16k miles later they still look perfect.

You don't need to have them powdercoated...that's a waste of money.

Agreed. I did this with my C5 calipers/brackets a couple years ago and they still look great. I used Folia Tec caliper paint bought off Ebay for like $25
