I've been reading the last few days on whether or not I have to disassemble my brakes and remove the seals and piston when I powder coat my brakes.

It seems like a mixed set of answers on some people doing it and others saying the seals and pistons can handle the heat because It gets that hot under normal driving conditions any ways.

Has anyon powdercoated their brakes and NOT disassemble and just tape/block off the areas?

Thanks!
