Lightbulb know anyone... powder coat calipers?

First off, hello everyone being this is my first post as a new member.

I am in the Northern VA area and hoping someone knows who can properly powder coat my calipers for a reasonable price. I welcome any feedback and thank you in advance!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes you can powder coat them, but you have to remove the pistons, clips, seals everything. You basically have to take it apart and buy a rebuild kit to rebuild them after the coating.

I will be doing mine in a couple weeks, going from 4pot to 6pot .

I use a local shop he will be doing my wheels at the same time.

Im in North Jersey if you need it done. Let me know what you are looking for and I can make it happen. I have powder coated several brakes.
Here is my wilwood setup. The calipers were orginally black when I got them.

Then I powdercoated them red:


Then Blue:

This is my MR2 but I can show you more pics if you like.
