yeah when you chip them it takes a huge chunk with it. be careful when taking wheels on and off. i found out the hardway. surprisingly the front ones are easier avoid than the rears.

i don't how these guys at autocross and hpde event pull them off and on so quickly without chipping the calipers. or maybe they do.

I would not powder coat your calipers for brembo says that it will hinder the performance the intended design. Here is a thread from older gen evos that have had chipping issues also and how they refinished their calipers. Should be the same concept.
