I went with powder coat - Lollypop purple from Prismatic Powders. I found a guy that would do the powder coating local to me. I brought him the stripped calipers and did the rebuild on them myself.

I have to repaint mine black...the only thing that sucks about a red ISF is that no caliper color really fits. I always wanted a USB F with lime-greenish calipers but that would never work on RED.

Paint matched or copper would look good!

After long deliberation, finally mine are done. The color seems to look different in different light as every mica. COLOR: Tri-coat Lamborghini Arancio Borealis Orange.








Before I get PMs, I got the decals at FastDecals.com
Here are my order specs:

His name is Mike, awesome guy, real pro. He used to paint for BMW. Great experience start to finish. $600 total.

Just had my calipers powder coated after having a bad experience with spray paint

@kzlflash @ChpEng
@Rossi Thank you for the referral. West Coast Wheels and Calipers, the shop that did Kojima's project ISF, seems to be out of business now.

Looks like Mike removed the caliper pins, springs, pads, and bolts before masking and painting?
