Can anyone reccomend a source for powder coating calipers?
Can the master cylinder and proportioning block be powder coated as well?
How difficult is it to dis assemble re-assemble the caliper? I have never done before and don't want to get in over my head.
Thanks for the assistance.

Get in touch with Steve Rupp on this one, he's done this before.

Taking calipers apart is pretty easy if your careful. Put a piece of wood in the caliper and use air to blow the pistons out. MAKE SURE YOUR FINGERS ARE OUT OF THE WAY IT HURTS BAD IF YOU PINCH THEM. Use as little air as possible cuz they pop out quick. Remove o-ring and dust seal and the bleeders. Have the powder coat place plug the holes and tape the bores and you will be in good shape. When you get the back tap the bleeder holes and make sure the piston bore does not have a burr on the edge if it does clean it up. Use a little brake fluid to lube up the o-rings anf the pistons and reassemble.
