How thick is powdercoating?
I'm planning to powdercoat my brake calipers.......but I only got about 1mm left between my front calipers and the spokes of my wheels. So, does anybody know how thick is the powdercoat? I might have to trim my calipers a little but i don't think that's a good idea though.

How about having them polished?
Here is one from a second gen LS: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...id=56289&stc=1 ** I'm having problem trying to attach/manage an image file. I keep getting invalid file error messages. ??? |

As for the image attachments, it is a known problem that the techs are looking at. Linking pics from the gallery or otherwise (like what you did) works fine though. |

Atsou-
I think gold is a nice color for the calipers. :thumbup: A powder coating site I just saw stated a 25-60 micron thickness...I have no idea how thick that is. How about a Type II anodizing? When I was wandering the GS forum and saw that LS400 caliper polished out. I thought those were :woohoo: Yeah, a bit flashy. I couldn't imagine using a die grinder to clean the caliper up like that. That is some work. |
jtanoyo1 has the LS430 monoblocks on his GS.
Wish I could find that thread and pics. :( |
you would have to take apart the calipers yourself. it's not hard to do. i got quoted $50 for all four calipers powdercoated a while back. this is for same day service.
LS430 calipers... drool.... :woohoo: |
Eric-
Here we go: one thousandths of an inch = 25.4 microns. |
