Hi folks and all the best for 2006,

Just wondering if anyone from the UK side has gone the route of powder coating their Brake Calipers rather than hand painting ?

If so, can you reccomend a suitable vendor for this in the UK and how much would I expect to pay ??

Thanks

 

Sorry Willie! but I couldn't be further away, so my local powder coater is out of the question, but I
would expect to pay between £10- £20 per caliper... ballpark.
They charged me £30 per wheel including shot blasting.

HTH

 

check the 9m website for a price on painting them , includes porsche stickers

 

Thanks Tafkai

 

let us know what you do Willie, as I'm up for it too.

 

There is aplace in Milnathort called Premier Wheels who blast and powder coat alloy wheels, who are very good, and reasonably priced. Don't know if they do calipers, but you could ask.

Year ago I had major problem with 9M - I sent them calipers and after almost 2 months I received them back ... but untouched. Somebody was ill and other bo…it. BE AWARE

 

oops ! I have already sent calipers to 9M. They did say that it will not be a 5 minute turn around so let's hope I can give everyone some positive feedback shortly. Thanks for the info SMF.
