Coop

Hi,

Can anyone refer me to a place/shop that does this? Price too for all four roughly. Also, I need a shop where I can leave my car while the work is being done. Thank you!

That's where I got mine done. Very happy with the result.

Those are two different issues. Powdercoaters have large places with overhead conveyors and big *** ovens and forklifts driving around. I've never seen one that I'd want to leave a Porsche with. Parts need to be prepped, degreased, sanded, sandblasted before powder is applied. Afterward because of the baking heat the rubber seals will have to be replaced. As for coating I found Dant in Brampton does really good work. $250 min charge.

you don't need to powder coat...just use high temp paint

I used to run a small powder coating operation in my shop, mostly doing calipers and valve covers for customers.
You do not have to replace the rubber seals inside the calipers. If you flash bake them at a very high temp, then yes you could damage the rubber.
But what your supposed to do is bake them at a reasonable temp (250 degrees C) for a period of time (about 45mins).....well at least thats what I did and I never had to replace any rubber seals in any calipers I coated.

Think about how hot your calipers would get on the track? The rubber is designed to withstand heat.

I believe Simply Tire does this, I'm going to get mine done in the spring. I think the cost is around $300 for all 4.

Sears (US) used to carry a kit for DIY:

Not sure if you want to use the oven in your kitchen though?

Pfaff Tuning will do it for you.

It's a pretty major undertaking though. To be done properly you need to remove the pistons so they can make sure it's properly cleaned. I did all the work myself and left the car on a hoist and it cost me about $800 with the rebuild kits that I got really cheap because Porsche made a mistake on the part numbers.

I used a local company, RLH.

^Is $800 including labour for the caliper rebuild? It's easy to do it yourself with the right tools.

I did it all myself. The $800 was just supplies and such.
