I split them to media blast and to remove the seals.I then put them back together and coated them complete so there would be no marks when i put them back together. The red really pops in the sun light on my RR evo. I did them last winter and they still have no rock chips or anything after being on for that long.

 

man this thread just made up my mind, im buying everything this weekend

 

Looks like a good job!

 

Nice, let me know if you have any questions.

 

That is Hilarious you mentioned that, because that was the first black chrome I used, and liked the color. I stopped using it because I didn't like eastwood's "chrome"s

The problem I have had with eastwood's powders is that they must somehow, some way be exposed to moisture, as when they arrive, they sometimes have big chunks in them. I sift all the eastwood powders when I get them.

Thanks!

 

I had that same issue with Harbor Freights matte black, first couple pounds were great, then they started getting clumpy so I stopped getting it.

If you ever find yourself needing to use a powder that has gone clumpy, a blender smoothes it out pretty quickly.

 

damn!! looking real nice. I want to get into powder coating when i get my own garage. I'd be doing the same.

 

getting set up in my garage to do some small parts. My buddy does my custom work. This is completely powder coated.. no paint. Even the Brembo logo is powder..

 

How exactly did he powdercoat the PLASTIC plug cover?

 

Powder and bake it. With stands the heat.

 

Wow that brake caliper looks amazing. I need to learn how to do this since mine faded to pink

 

Where did you buy your kit btw?

 

Can you elaborate?

 

He coats the plastic in the normal way. Then bakes it a bit of a lower temp. More timing than anything if you leave it to long i will warp...

 

looks great
