Got my LS400 brakes powder coated about a month ago but been lazy to post pics or even install them. Was hoping for a bronzish gold color but here's how they turned out. Tell me how you feel about them

Not really feeling the color, but post pics installed maybe they will look good once mounted on the car.

Likewise.


But if you had a gold SC/LS they would almost match perfectly

I like them. What happens to all the rubber seals/o-rings when they heat them up to powder coat?

I wasnt too pleased myself when I saw the outcome but the powder that was used on samples looked much different.

The car is black btw so hopefully it makes it look more goldish than it actually is

I hear ya, I had to do mine twice since I did not like the outcome the first time. I settled for powder coating them a matte black and they look great. As for the brake hardware, when I did mine I removed everything before they went into the oven.

Typically you would disassemble the caliper. Split the two halves, remove dust cover retaining rings, remove pistons, remove inner piston seal and you're basically ready to prep for paint/powder coat.

you gotta think brakes themselves get super hot so i'd imagine nothing if you left them built and just covered everything

I dont think they will look bad at all, especially since your car is black. Now had your car been garnet pearl like mine, well lets just say that at times I tend to resort to spray paint.

You didn't order Grey Poupon as the color did you?

The color is interesting, maybe it will look better on the car? Honestly, that's the least of your worries. Those powder coated seals will become brittle for sure...you may want to fix this sooner rather then later. Just my 2 cents...good luck, and thanks for sharing.

I would go with yellow calipers if your car was black. But these still look really good
