pewter coating stock brake callipers

ONE92 · 05-05-2009, 02:10 PM

I would like to know how to go about pewter coating the stock brake calipers. What to buy and where at.

I am assuming you mean powder coating? You would take the calipers off, strip them, and then take them to your local powder coater.

Hey, you are in AZ! I just noticed that. There are several powder coaters in town that can do it. I use Southwest Powdercoating on the West side every once and awhile, and if I pay cash, it is cheap.

I looked into this and the estimate I got was $1200... Ha...forget it. I think I'm just going to paint mine and save 1190 and use that for an x-pipe. Do a search, some guys painted theirs and they got really good looking results.
