Need HELP!! Powdercoating my brakes.

So I decided to powdercoat my brakes and my appointment is for monday, action powdercoating is doing them for me. I was wondering what color you guys think looks best with the IP. I know some of you are against that and would say get yourself a BBK but due to my new rims and the big lip that is not possible therefore painting them is the closest I can get, I think. My next question is do you guys know where I can also by the infiniti letters that go on the brakes, and the quickest way to get them. They asked me to drop off the calipers monday and I would have them on tuesday, does that sound right or is there a quicker place that does them. Thanks in advance for replies and need help ASAP. Thank you.

Powdercoating vs Paint...............

Other than yourself is anyone going to know you
took the time to remove your calipers and sent them
out for powdercoating? Why not put your car on
jackstands, remove the wheels, mask off your calipers
and the area around them, clean everything with
solvent, dry and wipe down then you can paint them
gloss black with high temp paint and they'll look
great for years.....three hours and your all done!
Cost will be $10 plus three hours of your time..LOL

Not sure i didnt see any . Not sure that you would need it. But make sure you get actual caliper paint because engine paint doesnt get as much of a heat rating.

you dont need clear coat just get the paint some people recommend the high hight temp enigine paint....but caliper is fine if you want you can do it for your self with teh rim on just newspaper your rim and dont spray the pain on....spray it into the cap of the bottle with get a lil puddle at the bottom and the use a brush to paint it on 2 coats is good...gold or red if you got a black car...possibly dark blue and for the leters go to infiniti.com copy and paste cut out the the letters tape em to the calipers and spray em after the base color is dry

its a ghetto way to do it but it looks good
