Can anyone recommend a good powder coating place?
 

I'm looking to get my brake calipers powder coated but want to find a reputable place to get it done.
Does anyone know a good place around I.E/Orange county/Los Angels area?
Any input will be greatly appreciated. :tiphat:

Ship them to Mike.

^I know he does good work but my z is a daily driver and I need it done in like 1 day.

He'll ship you a core set, you swap and send your OEM ones back.

I will pm him for the details but still rather find a local place first if possible.

Talk to Eli at Fast Forward wheels, he paints not PC's them

Fast Forward Wheels | Custom Wheel Refinishing & Repairs

People have also used Auto Explosion for great results:

Auto Explosion Body Shop - Custom & Collision Center - 13805 Normandie Avenue Gardena, CA 90249 - (310) 329-6691 - Auto Body Refinish, Custom Body & Paint

^Nice~ thx waizz

If you want something painted, not powder coated, then go to Auto Explosion. If they can do a full color change on my Z, they can most likely do your wheels haha. :tup:

even with shipping both ways, I'm still normally faster than most local places, plus I've done over 2300 sets of calipers in the last 7 years.

If you do go local, which is fine too, just make sure that either you or the coater completely disassemble them for coating. The dust boots on these calipers are far less heat tolerant than any other calipers I have ever seen and they will become brittle if they are coated fully assembled.

If you go with the painting place, that will be fine fully assembled.

Look up CTE in riverside.

^I emailed them but no one got back to me :shakes head:

^Thx Mike. I appreciate your input & I did find out that you were indeed faster and cheaper than the shops around here.

^Thx.
