Powder Coating Calipers

Mine are getting sent to Mike in a few thousand miles when I address the rest of the brakes. The OEM gray just isn't doing it for me.

I wish I sent mine when I redid my brakes, I regret it now.

Yeah, the goal with this car is to do everything right the first time. It would piss me off to no end to do the rest of the brakes and still have the gray calipers.

What are your guys' thoughts of blue calipers on a brilliant silver Z?

Mike does good work, with a short turn-around.
