Well, Instead of buying all the High Temp Spray paints, and Sanding them, i am getting them powdercoated. There is a Very Reputable shop 1 mile from my house... They do all the prep work, take them apart, Sand blast them (takes around 4-5days he said).. Every other powdercoating place it takes 1 day they dont prep them, so i would rather pay the extra money and know its done RIGHT. and last for a long time..

Thanks for the Opinions.. I will post pics next week.. ( if i drop off tomorrow, he will have them done by wed. or Friday

So how did it turn out? Did you put a pony on it to make it stand out? If so, where did you get the pony? I have a RedFire GT/CS and I am thinking about doing the same thing.

I had them Powdercoated... Got the Pistons/Seals Replaced. Got the Bracket, Banjo Bolt Head and Calipers Painted for $100 Out the Door.... Not bad considering most the places i called were $60 PER Caliper and I had to take them apart....

They are at my house on the Counter, I will take some pics of them tonight when i get home and post them up.....
