unfortunatly the JY has been low on DOHC. SOHC galore though. I made friends with one of the guys at the Junkyard, I would hook him up on P/C and he'd pick up some covers for me.

I have a set of Aluminum 300zx front calipers (2 halves per caliper for 4 parts total) I'd like coated. They're fully assembled off of a junk yard car, I'm going to pull them apart but I think they'd probably need to be sand blasted before they could coated.

I'd love to do that calipers in red with the "NISSAN" lettering in black. Is that possible/difficult? If it's a pain just red with bare metal lettering is fine.

1. Do you have the ability to sand blast stuff or would I need to have that done before shipping?

2. How much to paint the two calipers?

Its gonna be $80 Shipped. That includes prep, sand blasting, coating and shipping.

What kind of red you lookin for? Candy Red, Mirror Red? I can try doing the Black Lettering. Havent done raised letters in a different color but Im sure I could pull it off, although I think Red with Chrome/Brushed aluminum would look better

I actually have a order that im doing Z32 brakes and the customer wants me to do it in a 2 tone color so it'll give me a chance to experiment.

If you dont mind the down time than yea send it in. When yours come in I'll put you in the front of the line since DOHC covers are actually pretty easy and fast to prep.

What color did you want.

Yup still doing it. None of my suppliers carry Wrinkle Pink but they do carry lots of pinks in different shades.

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?
