Reply to "Seeking advice regarding powder coating original calipers"

I agree with Boss. One other thing many people overlook when considering powder coating parts is the thickness of the finished coating and the perceived hardness. For example if someone powder coats calipers and spindles then assembles them without scraping the mounting bosses clean they could end up with the caliper offset by 0.05” or more. Even worse, once the assembly heats up and the PC material softens the caliper mounting bolt that were thought to be tight are now loose. Also, critical parts that should be inspected periodically for signs of stress should not be powder coated. Powder coating can be an attractive and durable finish when used for the right application.
