Hey Guys,
I'm getting ready to upgrade my brakes. I went to Denis Reinhart and purchased the KVR Rotors with pads and braided lines, awhile ago.. Wondering if it's worth the hassle to replace the calipers or just paint them. What's your take on this?:confused:

I've debated whether to get some used calipers and powder coat them or just paint the factory ones.

I painted mine with DupliColor Brake Paint. They now look horrible. I prep'd they way they said to, and the crap is still flaking off.

If I had to do it over again.... I would Powder Coat.

:up:

Mac powdercoated a set of his, as well as polished a set.
Both sets quickly turned into something unattractive.
Just clean real good with brake cleaner and use a FLAT paint.
