Dont waist the money on power coating them i have had mine painted with high temp black then high temp clear coat for almost a year with out it fading or chiping at all. And it took me 30 mins and 9 dollars to do.

I painted mine with the G2 paint system, and have no problems with them fading, only a small chip where the wheel hit it on the right rear.

Chris did you remove calipers to paint or leave them on ? Got a black S2, thinking of doing the calipers black too. Not sure if I need to have the calipers off to do it PROPERLY !!!

This one is kinda in the dark, but is the only one I have at the moment. This is the G2 system brush on kit, I left the calipers on and just put masking tape all over the rubber parts on the calipers and on the rotors.

I removed the wheel, cleaned the caliper with brake dust remover gunk, washed with Dawn, rinsed a lot. I masked off the hoses, bolts, and disc with masking tape, and the painted straight on. The caliper paint I bought requires that you paint one coat, wait 20-30mins, paint another, allow to dry for 24 hrs. You cannot paint for 6 weeks after this.
