60 all together. Thought it was alittle expensive at first but thats dissasemble, tape it up, buff it down smooth, powdercoat, and re-assemble. It was either that or paint them but I figured it wasnt much more than the cost of good caliper paint and little stuff...tape,brush,sandpaper, and most of all, my time..

That doesn't sound like too much to me. I'm thinking about doing it once I have discs all the way around.

$60 sounds cheap to me! Here in L.A., there are often minimum charges for jobs which keeps even small tasks from being too cheap. Considering all the other work they did for you too, I think you're bucks up. How 'bout some pics.

Why are you powder coating your calipers? Is that the "in" thing now.

Oh, OK. A $5.00 can of Krylon will do the same thing.
