They actually only put in the oven anywhere from 350 to 450 degrees so what ever cant take that heat will need to be pulled apart

I would take them apart and buy a rebuild kit (new piston seals, etc.). It is a good time to do it. It is pretty easy to do, and anyone that works with brakes should be able to do it.

Hey jack, talked to the owner today after he dropped of trixs wheels and asked bout your calipers. He said for all 4 candy blue it would b from 200-250 depending on color and time for sandblasting. Not too bad considering
1. all four have to be sandblasted
2. washed chemically
3. powder coated silver.
4. put in oven to bake
5. spray candy blue while still hot after taking out of oven
6. put back in oven to bake blue
Candy powder coat is just like candy for paint. mores stages
