rims should be ok. I don't think paint will hold up either. I used 1200 degree duplicolor on my rotors and it burned off. Best is the stock finish.

not that I know of. Powdercoating may hold up a little better with a brake cooling kit, but they just get too hot on our cars. I powdercoated a set of sport calipers for my friend with a G37 who tracks his car and they are holding up just fine. Its all about the cooling.

Mike:
I should be picking up my car next week. Do you have any openings in like 2-3 weeks for some powdercoating? I guess a better question is.........are you guys doing anything for the 4th? I can hang around Atlanta or Augusta if you can fit me in somewhere around then. At a minimum, I want to get my calipers done up in Red. If you are feeling like a pimp, do my NISMOs in Gunmetal or Black! Let me know big man! Take care............Rob. Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using Tapatalk 2

I got to Zerolift yesterday. I am staying in the area until my car is complete. Ran into a SNAFU, but we should have it sorted soon.......I hope.

Sweet. Do you happen to have any pics? I'm trying to see how soon I can get my calipers over to you. I'm going to guess that it'll be in about two weeks. I'll PM you when I know for sure. Thanks!

let me know before you pull them to make sure I won't be flying for my other job at the time.
I can look for a pic when I get home tomorrow night, but I haven't done the color in a long time, and lost a lot of pics on my old computer when it died.
