Well if you want this job done the "right" way, you'd have them powder coated, it'll actually cost you more at most paint shops for people that attempt to paint it themselves, because the person thats gonna powder coat them will have to strip off all the crappy paint just to get them ready for the process of powder coating.

No it was definitely high temp caliper paint. Just not enough to handle track duty with a track brake pad. I don't really care though. I only painted my car because I had to take them off anyway to swap the pads. It only cost me like $50 to paint them. No big deal.

Yep. Track work stresses components more than you could imagine, Dee.

You don't really ever realize how much till you actually get on the track yourself. After cooling for 5-10 mins after one of my sessions, my brakes were still at like 400 degrees. |
