Powdercoated Caliper Pics

[GALLA_4]

Just got them back from the powdercoating workshop. What do ye think?

[Colin P]

nice, good job B)

[DAZA_W]

very clean and tidy

is there a limit on what can be powder coated ie plastic etc

[GALLA_4]

Yep Daza there is a limit to what you can powdecoat!

In powder coating, the powdered paint may be applied by either of two techniques.

(a)The item is lowered into a fluidised bed of the powder, which may or may not be electrostatically charged

or

(b)The powdered paint is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the part.

The part is then placed in an oven and the powder particles melt and coalesce to form a continuous film.

Obviously you couldn't powdercoat something that would melt at the baking stage ie plastic

Pretty! But a question, how much did all this cost? sand-blast + powder-coat. Might it not have cost less to get a nice set of brembo calipers?

[Rob]

just check ur pads still go in ok, might have to remove some of the paint there.

The whole lot cost me €150!!!

A family friend owns a fairly large industrial engineering firm over here!

If you can show me where to get a brembo Big Brake Kit for €150 then let me know LOL :D

The stock Calipers on the IS I have been informed are more than adequate and are far superior to most other manufacturers. If it aint broke dont fix! And plus the Legana bumper and SARD rear arch wing are not long eating into the old budget!!!

very nice mate, you going for a bit of caliper sticker action on them now?

[GALLA_4]

I have decided not to go with the Lexus caliper decals but instead I ordered and have these brembo Stencils.

I am getting them airbrushed on tomorrow

[Rob]

mmm i wouldnt put the brembo on, reckon it will look naff as its obvious they are not brembo calipers, but thats me....

i agree, its a bit like putting a HKS badge on your std zorst, but its your decision at the end of the day mate - the calipers do look very good.

[GALLA_4]

Yeah well maybe you guys are right! I have a set of white decals here at the moment! I could put them on! Haven't decided!
