Powdercoating brakes

I tried to search, but couldn't find a definite answer.

My question is if you take your brakes apart to powdercoat the calipers do you need a rebuild kit or anything to reassemble them?

I was going to be powdercoating the brakes on my brother's TT Supra at the same time and he told me that they need a rebuild kit for the seals or something when you take them apart like that. So it sparked my curiosity as to whether the Brembo's need this same kind of rebuild when you take them apart.

If I just use brake paint then I'm sure I won't need to worry about any of that because you don't need to take the calipers apart. But I want to do it right and powdercoat them.

Any help is appreciated.



PS-- This is the right sized kit for the decals correct??

I just got my rear evo brembo calipers powdercoated, the guy said you don't have to disassemble them. The machine he had them blasted is some $35k machine that uses recycled material, he said it would just bounce off the rubber. I asked about the oven and he said no way you know how hot calipers get, it will be fine.

We've done several sets and have always taken them apart. It's not hard and you might as well if you're in there already.
