Question

Green SC here, do you think a red caliper would be a little too Christmassy?

I've got silver wheels and painted the calipers silver, but now with the cadmium plated rotors I think there's too much silver and might repaint them a different color.

How much would it be for powder coating them? What colors are availible for powder coating?

if you use folia tec caliper paint you put it on with a brush so you shouldn't get it on any place you don't want

Will the Foliotec paint chip easily? I used the Black Caliper spray paint from Pep Boys and the it is starting the chip.

to all the green guys: i'd think that is too colorful. i'd say silver would be nice. black would work well, but not red or blue.

powder coating isn't cheap and wouldn't be worth it. though its available in all colors of the rainbow.

alexus, someone did write a DIY. try searching perhaps? its gotta be somewhere, and i bet bananaGS has a writeup
