I went to my acura dealer and they removed the calipers and held my car for @3 days.I then brought the calipers to a place that just does powdercoating.When they were done I brought them back to acura and they put them back on.The place I used is on Long Island,if your interested in the name let me know.Cost was about $150 a caliper.

dang thats costly...go to hpcoatings.com they quoted me 200 for all four rotors and 200 for all four calipers..so 400 bux for all..hpc coating resists heat better and lasts longer...

Why would you powdercoat rotors??
Your pads would just scrape the powdercoating off..

You dont actually have the face of the rotor coated, rather, the edge all the way around it.
