Powdercoating Calipers

elite-fusion · 04-02-2022, 08:39 PM

Has anyone powdercoated their plain calipers?

I have a 19 x5 xDrive50i mSport with plain silver calipers, thinking of powdercoating them to the mSport Blue since my car is blue.

Please let me know if anyone has pictures

Just make sure they reconnect everything correctly so you don't end up like this.

I've done this on a different car. There are surfaces that should be completely masked off so they don't get painted. I did the removal, dissassembly, reassembly, bleeding, etc myself so the cost was under $400 for 4 calipers. I imagine full service would be well over $1K so it probably isn't worth it.

You also have the option to wrap them. I have not done it myself but I saw it at a local wrap place while I was getting some chrome parts wrapped. The place said it can take the heat, of course if you track your car I would not suggest the wrapping option.
