I have a number of parts that I'd like to ship out to get powder coated.

C&S powdercoating. They have a website, but there's not much on it.

is that the original red that comes on the pony calibers? because yours looks a tad bit darker on my computer screen. That would actually look sweet if its the shade thats coming up on my screen.

Yea, that's how it looks on my computer as well. It looks kinda like candy-apple red. And they look freakin great!

They look awesome! I'm thinking about doing the Cobra brake upgrade, and you just made my mind up on what color to paint them! Definitely be sure to get some pics of that up against your silver paint.

How does the powder coating hold up to the heat the brakes will experience?
They really look great.

normal (not specifically high temp powder) holds to 500 degrees no problem. they also make several high temp powders ranging from 1000 to 1500 degrees. Most powdercoaters cure the powdercoat at 400 degrees so brakes are no problem at all for powder.

And +1 they look nice

Did you have to remove the pistons from the calipers before they were coated?

Thanks everyone.

I removed the pistons before having them done and on the rear ones I left all the parking brake stuff.
