It could range from 50$ to 80$ a piece depending on your area.

If you want you can ship them to me, I have my own powder coat shop in CT.

Or you can just shop around locally, probably be a lot easier considering time wasted from shipping back and forth.

I recommend getting a caliper rebuild kit while your at it. There pretty cheap on eBay.

I got all four calipers coated for $150 out da door. I did the disassembly, and put them back together once I got them back from the powder coater. Dropped them off Monday picked them up Thursday.
