I have been thinking about doing the same - only sending them out for powder coating in the winter - looks good

not a fan of the red, but a nice job.

You can always do yellow and act like it's a Ferrari

Nine bucks and a hours labor, let em dry over night and Im pretty happy.
499 to change the color of a pair of calipers seems
VERY bad to me..hehe Glad you did them yourself, they look great! (and you still have 391 leftover!)

I like the look of the red calibers too. Reminds me of a Porsche that I use to own with my ex-wife...

did you use the epoxy caliper paint that you use a brush, or did you use the spray can caliper paint? looks good, btw.

I'm on the fence about the red calipers. But if I did do the red, I'd also get red plug wires to compliment the calipers. hmmmmm..

Powder coat in red would be nice.
