Powder Coated Brake Calipers

jparnes1 · 03-28-2010, 03:44 PM

Has anyone here done or thought about powder coating their OEM brake calipers? It amazes me that BMW doesn't offer this as an option. It would add such a great look to the car without paying $4000 for performance brakes. The calipers on my 2006 525 look awful but I'm thinking more about the Z4 I'm getting in 3 weeks. I'm not really interested in painting the calipers because I think that's just going to be a maintentance problem when the paint chips or peels.
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I have thought about this option too with better brake pads and stainless steel lines you would have much better brakes and looks for less than $1,000.
