Eventually I would like to powder coat my z32 calipers, front and rear, a glossy black. Right now they are painted red, but it is chipping cause they had a leak and I was very messy when I bled them (my first time). My question is, if you powder coat the calipers, will they glossy black chip off? or will it be on the calipers preety good?

Powder Coating is one of the most durable coatings. When done correctly a powder coated object can withstand a 3ft drop without chipping. However though solvents can break down powder coating.To answer your question yes powder coating will be on there pretty good, it bonds to the metal.

Hey Song I havent been able to email you back since I've been without internet access since the last time we spoke. I havent been able to ship your parts back because I havent been able to redo those 3 pieces of the caliper.My cell phone is 561-542-7619 in case you ever need to get a hold of me. I just want you to know Im not gonna charge you the remaining amount so what you already paid is considered paid in full. I will email you the tracking number when I ship them off.

I saw Z32 Calipers in your gallery how much does a caliper cost to coat and does it need to be disassembled?  P.S. After the holidays I have a valvecover for a DOHC KA. I like that golden yellow on your gallery pics that's on the SOHC cover. Hopefully sending Z32 brakes afterwards for the same color. 
I know that is some quality artwork just a layout and general color reference I do like that yellow in the gallery tho...

I dont think im gonna do anymore brake calipers. I think im just gonna stick to Valve Covers and small items like brackets etc.
I didn't have much fun doing the Z32 calipers. Plus with Valve Covers I get to do crazy stuff.
Which Gold SOHC cover were you talking about? The KA SOHC or the Honda SOHC?

KA SOHC it seemed a bit more golden yellow not lemonade yellow... LOLThe yellow in my MS Paint drawing is close to what I want. Valve covers look amazing by the way.

Interested in a powdercoat job for my wifes rb valve covers. I see that you have a rainbow flake color with a black base. Can we have that done in another base color? Also how much would it be for the powder coat job as technically its 2 valve covers?

I charge $85 Shipped for RB covers and $30 more for the timing cover.That black with the rainbow is called Prismatic Black the rainbow is built into that color. I checked with my supplier they dont sell it another base color nor in a additive form. I can do a clear coat in rainbow sparkles but it wont give that color changing effect.

I'm your guy. I charge $65 Shipped. My price includes prep/shipping/and painting.
I appreciate the gesture of offering to sand blast, but I would advise not sand blasting a valve cover especially if the baffles are rivted and can't be removed. The reason for this is that the blast media will make its way into the baffles and make it increasingly difficult to remove. You dont want it to be floating around in your oil eating up your bearings.
For valve covers I use a chemical stripper to remove all coatings and get it down to bare metal, the leftover chemical gets burnt off in the oven when baking. I'll run it on a Wire Brush wheel to get what the stripper couldn't get.

Well I was considering sending you my valve covers and timing cover, and just letting you go wild on them. Just do whatever you want, make them awesome as hell. The car will be going to NOPI in Atlanta this year, and I would be happy to whore out your work like crazy.I mean, I was supposed to do this a long time ago, right? Well in a week my car will finally be apart long enough to have it done. The paint that's on there is chipping, dull, and faded. My only request would be that somewhere on there you used some of that awesome black that I made you buy way back when and then never sent you my valve covers to use it on.

What kind of brakes Z32, OEM, etc. I got some experience on how to do the brakes faster so I may offer it again.
Get me some pics on the parts but you may be looking at $30 Shipped each piece plus a discount depending on many pieces you have to do.

Sharkerio_coupe looks like you're just the guy Im looking for. I want to get some vinyl decals done to do some custom work on powder coating. I dont have money at the moment to drop for a plotter so I may look to you for some stuff done.
Let me know maybe we can trade services, I want to do a Nico cover and need vinyl stickers to mask stuff.
