OK, regarding the earlier comments about heat, calipers and underhood.

The powdercoat can handle the underhood heat 100% with no problems at all.

On brake calipers, under normal street driving and even some light track use, they also hold up just fine. The problem comes with heavy use, like boiling brake fluid type use. WHen the calipers get really hot, the powdercoat gets soft, but it rehardens and that isn't a problem at all. The problem comes when brake dust embeds itself in the softened powder. Thats what discolors and dulls them, but the integrity of the coating itself still holds up.
