Can calipers be powder coated?

[jonzi]

Not sure I want to, but is it possible to get the calipers powder coated?

And with powdercoating is it possible to pick out detail in another colour?

[Albie]

Yes of course they can. But you will need to strip down and get new seals. Paints easier.

So many options,

Cheers fellas

[steeevvvooo]

are you buying the diesel bike from the other thread mate?

[pompone]

Or you could just buy my gold ones ;)

[jonzi]

Why would i want gold ones?

Unless they are Brembo M4's. But I would definitely paint them.

No not getting the Diesel, I think that looks horrible.

But I might do my calipers in black and then get the Brembo bit in red.

[J.P]

They really look ncie painted actually.

Hi Jonzi,

There's a guy in Heathrow that stove enamelled my(your old) footrest hangars, Eltec, he does powder coating as well. I've used him a couple of times, he's very good, a nice bloke, and a biker to boot so very sympathetic to biker's reqts. He can take a while to get things done but he does a very good job. If you want to use him I could drop off and pick up the bits on my way to work. I also had a caliper for my GB500tt rebuilt and painted by a company that specialise in calipers, will have to check the receipt for their name, but they were good as well.

Thanks,

There's a company near where I live that I've used recently and seem to be decent enough

Might go in tonight and have a word with them.

Got some radial master cylinders to put on and new lines so might as well do it all at the same time.

I love a caliper rebuild session.

Thing is I would stove enamel them instead. More shine to them and better heat resistance
