Chris Wilson Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Get them powder coated, but the powder coater will want them stripped with plugs for the bores and bolt holes. I have some here that I have put back together, the guy who had them done is a member, I'll try and think of his forum name, one of the Jamie's from Shrewsbury. They look OK.

Stonkin Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I offer a hub and caliper repainting service for £100. They are not sprayed but done by hand, i have never had an issue with paint flaking on any of the many vehicles i have done this on. However i would agree its not the same as spraying them removed from the car, but the finish i achieve has always been good enough for me, and im very picky. I have just completed this on my girlfriends M3 yesterday, i'll get some pics up in my section once the rest of the car has had a paint correction treatment.

Stonkin Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 There is 1 pic on here, although i appreciate not aclose up one http://invisibletouchdetailing.co.uk/extras.html another couple in here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=115888&highlight=wheels and another here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=5272 I'll sort some close up pics of the M3 once ive completed the rest of the car. I'd be surprised if the finish on the brakes wasnt up to standard though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Just use Hammerite I used Hammerite and on track it got too hot and blistered. It's fine on the road as your brakes don't get that hot but on track the heat will make the paint blister and peel off. I haven't redone mine with proper brake caliper paint yet, partly cause there are less colours to choose from But hammerite or halfords is a false economy if you go on track.
