Very cool, looking forward to seeing the finished product!
Also, for anyone that's custom colored their calipers, what are the general thoughts on paint vs. powdercoat?? Given the temps that the calipers could see under hard braking, I don't imagine a powdercoat oven (400*F) would be an issue, even for a fully assembled caliper...
For those of you that have done it, did they fully disassemble the calipers to coat them or just mask off any coat them assembled?
Appreciate the info!
