Anyone have any recommendations for powdercoaters that can do a set of brake calipers. I recently bought a set of used brake calipers from a 530i and want to powdercoat them and rebuild them.
I would prefer someone in the southern california area, but in reality I just want the job done right. If you know any one that can do this and maybe even rebuild the calipers, I'd appreciate a point in the right direction.
I've got my current calipers painted with G2 Caliper paint. I like the finish, but I want to powdercoat the next ones and then sell the ones I have.

I've rebuilt calipers in the past. I have no problems doing it again, but I figured if there is a shop that will pwdercoat them, they will have to disassemble them as well. Might as well rebuild them for me if they can.

I'm in Beaumont. 45 minutes west of Palm Springs. I'll give your suggestions a shout once I have the new calipers in hand unless I find another option.
I originally painted mine with hi temp paint and then a clear coat over the paint.
They looks good for a while, then the brake dust started to eat at the shinny finish.
I then sand blasted them and powder coated them.
Powder is 10x more durable than paint, that was 4 years ago, they still look just as good as the day I did them.
I did all 4 of mine anodized blue and some for an M5 black.
I was going to use g2 caliper paint also but wow power coating looks amazing!!!
