I Have A Buddy That Just Bought A Powder Coating Machine..... Do You Guys/ladies Think That The Powder Coating Will Stick On The Brake Calipers?

it would but your asking for allot of work powder coating you need to coat with the powder then bake it on in an oven you will more then likely need to remove them from the car and disassemble....your better off using regular caliper paint.......

I would think it would work so long as its prepped right, but you should only coat the outside. Powder coating is thicker than paint and will change the tolerances around the pad clips, etc. and you definitely dont want it where the pad meets the caliper of anywhere near the pistons (which I dont think you can remove from the caliper)
