If you do G2, you probably won't be happy with it, especially on a caliper as smooth as these and painting with a brush. Mightybobo, I am pretty much off of my break. It never really turned out to be a complete break, just a slowdown that I used to train a new employee to help me with the workload. and by the way, while the group buy never went down, I will do that price for any premium the370z.com member.

Do you sandblast or somehow remove all the old paint before you powder coat? If so, will it be any harder to do that if I try the G2 kit I already bought? I would like to see how the car looks with red calipers. If I don’t like it I can then have you do it back in a more subtle color. Does the price include adding the Nissan or Akebono logos? About how long is the turnaround time? |

I didn't notice your location, I can't do exchange either with that distance. I did send a set of Z06 calipers to Dubai once, and it cost 400 dollars, plus the guy decided to keep them and not send the cores back and I was out of the only set of Z06 calipers I had.
Best bet would be to buy a set from a US vendor, like Z1 or even used and have them shipped directly to me, let me coat them and then send them on to you.

That looks fantastic Daisuke, curious to see how it'll look with the stock rims. I was planning on getting mine powdercoating the same color but was convinced to think twice about the extra effort to keep white calipers clean - seeing your set, I'll definitely get those done once I go with darker rim colors; that would make for a nice contrast. Cheers.
