Anyone know or have experience on how durable powdercoating the calipers would be?

QUOTE(hellsyphon @ Apr 10, 2007 - 12:00 AM) [snapback]545110[/snapback] Anyone know or have experience on how durable powdercoating the calipers would be? calipers get too hot for plain powder coating(it melts) but ceramic coating is an option. Most headers and chromed engine compartments have been ceramic coated. |
