I was wondering if powdercoating the Z's calipers would damage them in anyway?

you just have to remove the pistons and seals first and be sure to mask off the piston, seal and threaded holes with high temp tape or plugs

I talked to a guy locally who owns a huge powdercoating facility and he strongly recommends against powdercoating high temperature parts like calipers he said they should be ceramic coated. I personally found this odd because porsche powdercoats all of their brembo calipers. Im hoping this guy is nuts. :bs:
