Hey guys I'm thinking about powder coating my Cobra front calipers. Do I have to completely disassemble them to have them coated or can I leave the pistons and bleeder valve in?

I would personally disassemble myself unless you trust the guy

The process would more than likely destroy the rubber seals. The PC guy will need to know what surfaces he cannot coat, such as the insides of the bores and where the seals sit.

I personally use paint vs PC. PC acts as a heat insulator....bad thing on brakes. All OEM brakes are painted.
