I went with candy red.

I hear you regarding mike, how long did it take and did you just send the whole caliper and he dissembled it as needed before powder coating?

Did Mike replace the decals?

How much time to remove and reinstall the calipers, bleed brakes etc.

Love the color and thanks for the reply.

Factory calipers are painted.

Mike DOES replace the decal and can change it to any design you want and in almost any color.

As for paint vs PC, paint chips easier, PC is thinner but more durable.
And if you're tracking, PC isn't always the way to go. At 400-600 degrees the powder becomes soft, and can burn.
(Hell, even Mike's wheels got discolored after he beat them at the track, and NO, this doesn't not mean Mike's work isn't too notch, his work is amazing, it's just the nature of the beast)

I sent Mike the whole caliper. He tears them apart, and put them back together again. He can put on any decal you like. It's about a 3 day turn around. As for the time to install the calipers and bleed them. That depends on how much skill you have working on cars.
