I'd definitely prefer powdercoat but most places around here won't do it because it involves full disassembly and the few places that will do it charge about 3-4x more than painting on car w/ masking so I'm not sure if it's worth the premium.. Maybe it is
yeah, because california. I used to charge 400 for a set of 4, including disassembly and reassembly. Since you are in CA, I would check with wheel dynamics mentioned above. they do great caliper paint work.

not close to wheeldynamics sadly, i'm near SF, it seems socal has all the good car shops but slim pickings up north here
My only issue with that is it may convey it is a hybrid since you expressed that concern earlier. The car is the primary color, and a nice one at that, so you may not want to draw attention from it....Silver with Black lettering or Black with Silver lettering would look real nice (coming from someone with Miami Blue everywhere, except the Yellow calipers).

thats true.. im hesitant on silver because my wheels are silver, id like to have some contrast... the orange you posted is really nice and i may end up with that
Look into Wheel Dynamics. They are even in CA. Interesting, they DON'T powder coat. But there is a Rennlister here who did this as a full-time 2nd business (pilot) who only DID powder coating (that's his pink sample).
I just used Wheel Dynamics to paint my calipers. They did a great job and the finished product looks like stock. They supplied the decals and did clear over. Only have a couple thousand miles so far but they look great and no issues from heat, yet. Turn around time was about two weeks. They use paint not powder coating.
