Default Any recommended shop to Powdercoat brake calipers in LA/OC?

Looking for a shop that can powdercoat my calipers. They are black right now but want to get them powdercoat since the spray can isn't good enough.

Looking for a shop that can take my calipers out to powdercoat them and put the calipers back on.

Powder coating can be a very demanding process.Clean, clean, clean.
The parts must be stripped to the raw castings & then everything must be extensively cleaned.
Might pay to buy a spare set, dis-assemble, clean & then take to the powder coater.
Once complete any reputable brake man can re-assemble & install.

We do a few pieces every month with our own home made oven. Friends & I always building anything from a '35 Chev/Vette-rod to a stock Model T to a '67 Impala SS & everything in between.
Many of my own brackets on the Buick were done by myself.
We took two residential ovens, cut the back out of one & stacked it onto another which is laying on it's back.
Open the oven door, hang the parts, set the oven to 450, set the timer to 45 min. & have a beer.

Olympic Powdercoating in Santa Ana. They did my calipers and they turned out great. Took a little over a week. They do race car chassis, outdoor furniture, car parts, etc. I highly recommend them. We use them for our parts at work as well.
