Would powder coating the calipers help prevent or reduce warping the rotors when splashing through deep puddles after riding the brakes hard? In other words, does it prevent water from cooling the rotors too fast?
thats like saying water proofing shoe laces, could help water proof the shoe. lolololol/jk
no homie, powdercoating the caliper wont protect the rotor from heat damage.
the problem is the rotors are too thin from the beginning. thin metal over heats easier. thin metal bends easier. and thin metal wears faster. thicker rotors are heavier = thus being able to withstand longer periods of high temps. but heavier rotors reduce MPG's and thats the primary reason they are light to begin-with. a lot of companies are scrambling to increase MPG's and simply use lighter parts everywhere.
