Recommendation for a shop for powder coating brake calipers?

Postby Brett 78 911SC on Mon Feb 07, 2005 4:17 pm

Can anyone recommend someone? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just simply black for my SC's calipers.

thanks,
Brett

Mine get coated with black powder at every event :D free!

Actually, Automotion-Performance Products, Pelican Parts and others sell a do it yourself kit that is probably the cheapest way to get a decent coat of paint on them for a reasonable cost. I have even had decent luck just using Rustoleum about once a year (and those were red). Won't win a concour, but look pretty good for street purposes.

I've had R.W. Little powder coat a lot of stuff for me quite reasonably including my roll bar. That's all they do--near the airport, just off the freeway (619) 291-0790 .

I can second the recomendation for R.W. Little. The work is first rate and the turn around is quick. While restoring a car a few years ago they powder coated a load of parts for me and everything was perfect.

The caliper paint kit I have used from Perf products/Automotion sucked. Spray cans might be much better.
R.W. Little is expensive compared to other powder coaters. Go east County for powder coating, painting, plating.
Would I steer you wrong? :wink:

East and North county do have a lot of coating shops, but El Dorado Sandblasting is also downtown, on Commercial St., and does the same thing cheaper than RW Little. 619-696-0700.

I second El Dorado. I believe MOM uses them for all of their racing parts.
