Just got mine done by Able Sandblasting and Powder Coating in El Cajon, CA.

It's called Prismatic Gold. Planning on sanding down the letters to bare metal.

just got done putting all of my stuff back together..

Fire Red metallic brembo calipers on my vert..

and the same with the Z32 rear..

rednissan180 · 02-13-2013, 03:39 PM

^^looks good with the black lettering

slydin240sx · 02-14-2013, 06:02 PM

Dormant purple 30mm's. The letters will be painted white to match my wheels.

speedfiend · 02-17-2013, 06:26 PM

Fixin to drop my z32 front and rear calipers off at the powder coaters next week. Plan staying low key with a matte or wrinkle black with polished lettering. Had a quick question though. Are you guys taping the lettering and bolt holes off prior to dropping them off for coating? I know powdercoating can be a bitch to get off so was wondering how you guys were going about getting the lettering polished? Let me know.
Thanx, Cameron

xoxide · 02-17-2013, 08:02 PM

Not PC's.. Just used some paint we had in our paint cabinet on them. Really happy with the way they turned out.

BoostinIX · 02-20-2013, 05:46 AM

Forget the specific coat colors, but it's a dark gray metallic matte with my iron man red combo over it

conrad_s13.5 · 02-20-2013, 09:09 AM

d_nice · 02-20-2013, 09:32 AM

You painted the inside as well? Is that okay or will it ruin your dustboots?

Mister.E · 03-03-2013, 10:36 PM

BoostinIX · 03-04-2013, 05:12 AM

I think this is a great paint choice very subtle and clean.

Thanks! however, it's actually a decal that was cut out of high heat resistant vinyl.

Anyone know what the stock calipers looked like when new?
What color were they coming off the assembly line?

90S13 · 03-10-2013, 03:42 AM

to the guys that send in the calipers intact to get powder coated, after removing the seals and pistons do you guys cover the holes that the pistons go into to prevent powder coating from getting inside or do you guys just leave it be?

Quality powdercoater will know to block off these areas. They have to media blast the parts, they'll just remove any taping you do anyway.

Thx man, good to know that its compartible with z32 calipers. Did u need to make any modification to fit in?
Thx

BoostinIX · 03-12-2013, 11:44 AM

The rotors are made for Z32 calipers. Not sure what you're asking.

nism014 · 03-12-2013, 02:40 PM

Can you guys recommend shops I can ship mine to get powder coated?

Would the zilvia mods be against this?

Reason I'm asking is that there's no one in my area that will do it for less than $500 and I think that's kind of steep. I'm looking for a shop that would do it for less than $250

I'm in Hawaii so a shop on the West Coast would be nice.
