Powercoating color question for Sport Package Rays

I have 20mm all around. I did it more for aesthetics than performance, but it does give you a slightly wider stance. I'm not dropped, though.

gotcha, thanks i defintely will do some research and put some on.
The shop's like, now I gotta paint the door handles and lug nuts.
My gf is like, your calipers need to be red now.

What should I do next? It seems that Mike the Powdercoater strongly advise to NOT powdercoat calipers b/c I track. Anyone had bad experience with tracking on powdercoated calipers?

The shop I powdercoated my wheels said they did both powdercoating and paint (not hi-temp) wheels over the last 22 years with no problem. That doesn't mean those guys track at all.

What about our OEM Akebono 40th Anniversary Calipers? Are they painted or powdercoated? If they're painted, I wonder if they're Hi-Temp Painted...I would like to have someone like Mike to replicate that for me. (Not neccessary the color but the same process) as we know that works okay.
