          Depends on the color and etc. But like 1lb of gloss black powder on ebay is like 15 bucks, so its not too ridiculous. Metallic red on the other hand...

                I can get all Caterpillar spec stuff. High gloss black, cat yellow, white. I have some other stuff lying around as well. This is high quality industrial powder. Let me know how much you want of that, and I will get it for you at a discount price. Also, buy my powder unit. Its current professional grade equipment. Everything works, and there's $3000 worth of new parts from GEMA in the bags with the GEMA part number tags still on them. And a brand new $1400 GEMA gun. Fully functional, and its a steal at $2000. Or will trade for a running driving car.

                            I as well have a powder coating system. I bought mine from harbor freight and it does quite well. The only thing I dont have is a curing oven. I can only do small parts that will fit into a toaster oven at the moment. :(

                                    Well, hot pink obviously! What kind of turn around do you have, assuming they get to you sandblasted and ready for spray? Cause I only got one set of brakes lol

                                    I would wanna do it whenever I decide to swap my full suspsension + stainless brake lines, and wouldn't wanna be w/o a car for extended periods.

                                        Ryan: Turnaround on two prepped calipers, assuming they're 100% perfectly sandblasted, and require no other prep work, should be 2-3 days, depending if I can get em both on the same rack or not. I'll need some monies for color, as I dont have hot pink. Shipping should take 1-2 days max I'd assume, unless Justin comes down for a weekend to see piku and he brings them with + drops them off then picks em up sunday.

                                        Dan: that is correct. You cant coat anything with rust, or it will flake. Oils or anything else will cause bubbling. Perfectly clean is the name of le game
