Someone advertises in the Classifieds of Pano every month. Good luck as you know how it goes these days with getting anything done.......

Wait, is that Horsepower Enterprises? If so, I've heard that they can do a better job than even Billy Bob Brembo himself.

Try it yourself. Your brakes are already almost paintably clean now. What color are you thinking? Red I hope.

Mein Bruder: If I can do it and fool even the guys at the dealership, I can only imagine what you could do. (But you've got to put that beer bottle down, first lol!)

Andreas, I've seen caliper powder coating and paint jobs on cars done by this place and it's excellent. I have no affiliation but the word on the street around here is that it's the place to go for high quality caliper paint work. They offer both paint or powder coating.

So, just a heads up as a possibility.....

Would you be willing to do a short write-up on the process to rebuild the calipers. I am wanting to replace the pistons and seals in my calipers. I get lost with the piston size and where to get the right parts.

Looks like we're all booked up this Friday.

I had really good luck with sandpaper, VHT Red Caliper paint and VHT Caliper Clear Coat. Its been several years now and many brake fluid spills later without issue. Previously I had "professionally" powder coated calipers that completely went to ...

I should add that removing the spring plates is a complete PITA!

I've been toying with this over the winter as well. Found this link http://members.rennlist.com/v1uhoh/brakerf.htm but confused on what comes after "remove the brake lines". Won't that be followed by "run from the gushing brake fluid" or "cry as your paint job is ruined by a fountain of brake fluid"?

There's a ton in info on here and there's a Caliper Piston reference chart on pelican as well. It's as easy job but just messy.

After I wrote the post I headed over to pelican. I did see the reference chart for the piston size as well as the kits. It's just a matter of getting the caliper off the car and stop the fluid.
