I do a great job as well... I can do a flat black for $50 on all 4 calipers 5 coats, I will also remove the piston(s) because of the rubber seals that may heat up and cause leaking.

It will not be a few hour turnaround. Or if it is, it will be a long day.

how long does the powder coat take to cook or harden or whatever it does? I know just getting the calipers off, drained, and taken apart and cleaned is prob more than an hour process for each one. You cant bead blast them with any kind of gunk or liquid in them or it clogs up the machine. You would be better off if you didnt have to drive the car that day, esp since something could always go wrong, although it sounds pretty straight forward

well if i could manage a few days without rain i could take the motorcycle every day but id hate to have to get to work, still not have a car for some reason, and have it downpour on me which its bound to do haha.
hour each caliper just removal, and i'm guessing the same to remove? shiiiit... im thinkin this is gunna have to go on the back burner then, plenty other stuff around that time frame/cost that could take priority, i just hate my damn calipers!
