Default Did some powder coating

Just thought I would post my powder coating project. I blasted the rear calipers, backing plates, and rotor hubs on my street car. I did the backing plates, and hubs in silver and will do the calipers in red or yellow. Fronts are next.
I busted my hump getting these done while my help sat by the wet bar, watching TV and eating peanuts.

Looks good!
Was thinking of doing my rotor hubs also. Did you use a high
temp powder?

Ok Guns I am thinking yellow since the car is yellow and as you said red is everywhere.

Tim Just used the basic powder no high temp. It's a street car and on the rear so heat should not be an issue. I suppose there could be a DE once in a while but oh well it should hold up.

Here's some yellow powder coated brakes for 951's. One set of "moped-brakes" and two pairs of some serious ones.
