powder coating the BREMBO
Is there anyone out there that is offering this service that I could just send them to? I know there have been some people that have done quite a few... I really don't want to deal with taking them apart and rebuilding them myself.
I used to work in several aftermarket companies, and the only thing that Brembo is doing is advising you to not screw around with their product. We used to do the same thing at my last place of business, recommend customers to NOT disassemble their products because it creates a liability problem between the end user and the manufacturer.
That is not bad advice, Brembo is simply trying to cover their asses when it comes to and end user screwing around with the product.
I have 110% confidence in what I say because I used to do it for a living. The only question that arises as a result of this is the integrity of the caliper upon reassembly by the untrained customer. It doesn't matter that at guy AT BREMBO told you to not take them appart because being the Quality Assurance Manager at the company I used to work at, I would have told you the exact same thing knowing full well that as long as the proper REASSEMBLY techniques were used, it wasn't a problem. On the same logic, what kind of answer do you think Mitsubishi would give you if you called them and asked them about taking apart you car. I am certain they would give you the same answer, but we still do anyways. Same situation.
The 250-300 might have been a small underestimate on my part, whick I appologize for, as another board member has shown.
Anyhow, I am going to be doing this on my car as my calipers are peeling really bad. Shall I take the time and do a complete writeup and show you all that it is a perfectly safe thing to do, as long as your reassembly is OK?

Any one know how hard it is to reassembled the rear calipers? I would send mine out but tcc is kinda far and there's a local shop that powder coats but they said I should split them. The only thing holding me back is a couple of post that I have read where people are clamming that's its a PITA
The brakes are fairly simple in terms of parts.
If dissasembling you will need some low pressure compressed air to get the pistons out.
Assembly is quite simple. You will use brake fluid as lubricant, and must make sure every part is exceptionally clean.
I personally would just send them to TCC. They have a lot of experience with evo brembos and will more than likely have a nicer finish than anything local.

Price would be $375 for a set of 4 pairs (2 front 2 rear) in a regular solid color and $425 if going with a candy color. This includes disassembly, coating, and reassembly re-using the seals. 150 more to get them rebuilt.
