Wohoo, you went all the way man, the right way I should add. I saw your big 'ol sweet tires and that's going to turn out :yum: I'm already in the long line for the pics :excited:

i had some bad luck recently and this was the result :(

dont want to post the pic in your thread, but you're welcome to click and see what i mean. send me a PM please :)

Hey mike, couple questions-

Can you color match to the z's red? And any chance of a faster turnaround if I drove out there?

I think my red is fairly close. If you bring them, I can do them in a day if we coat over the original paint (which can be done with no ill effects).

I prefer to strip them though, and thats an overnight process.

Mike's recent work for me:

Thanks buddy :)

damn, sick. makes me really want to pick up some brakes.

Yeah, he does great work. In YOUR case - have you seen Red calipers on a red car? I dont like it personally, would want something that stuck out more. But, that's me.

I actually think I would do black w/ red lettering. I think yellow is too much, and I don't think anything else would go.

You read my mind, PRECISELY. I was going to offer piano black (or matte black would be sick) with red lettering. Do it.

Mike, im planning on sending my calipers to you sometime this year and was wondering can you find out the total weight of all 4 calipers in kilograms so i can estimate the shipping cost to send it over and back.. Thanks...

40 pounds if you can convert to kg.

around 18.2KG

Btw, Just thought i'd add here for Mikes work.

The White Calipers are still awesomely white (when i clean the dirt off them)

but they havnt stained or gotten dull or anything. Got some comments on them at Caffeine and Octane yesterday! woo.

Mike powdercoated my new Akebono calipers in RAL2000 orange. I bought the brakes from Z1 and they shipped them across town to Mike, for powdercoating. All-in-all, worth every penny. His workmanship is flawless.

Thanks!

There is another vendor on here saying powdercoating flakes off with high temperature and doesn't hold up as good as paint.

I can only say that I've done over 1700 sets of calipers in the last 6 years and never had a set come back from peeling. Properly cured, powdercoat will hold up much better than paint.

Plus, my product comes with an unconditional lifetime guarantee. Whether something fails because of me, because of my customer, or its noone's fault, I still redo it free of charge. I do this because I've had mods go wrong and had to pay to fix faulty stuff from other vendors, and my customers never will have to do that because of me.
