Where to get Calipers painted?
#18
As for the paint not being able to hold up, that is not entirely true. If you prep it correctly and you good materials, and clean it regularly, the paint will last for a very long time.
Street cars don't generate much heat in their brakes calipers to deteroriate the coatings. It is not an American Le Mans Car. Even on a hot summer day after a hard drive, my calipers are still cool to touch. If its an OEM floating caliper where the pad is placed directly against the caliper, than it might be a different story.
As for car paint vs powercoat, powder coat is obviously more durable but your choices in color and color depth vs paint is limited.
Makito Nakai from Shine Auto Project painted mine last year and it is still as shiny as it did coming out of the paint booth
