Regular paint vs. Powdercoat

lol thanks for the input. but if I were to go with the high heat paint with a gloss finish/sealer, would you really be concerned about them not holding up

The stock finish is paint plus clear, can't imagine why if properly done that you shouldn't get similar results.

Oh really?!! I didn't know that, I thought they were powdercoated. That's good to know....worries are all gone. Thanks for the info. I was leaning more towards high heat paint and clear coat simply because powdercoaters are very scarce here. I found a place that actually does this and then applies any custom decal to the calipers once painted. Takes them two days to do the whole job.
