Is it safe to powder coat / paint calipers and wheels?
Thinking about powder coating my rims and maybe do my stock calipers from blue to CCB Gold. Is it safe to powdercoat or paint the calipers? I know they will have to remove it from the car and bake it to set the color in. Or should i leave it stock blue over black rims. I have comp wheels.

Yes, it's definitely safe to do so. I got my stock 343 powder coated black. I kept the blue calipers. I think CCB Gold is stock color for cars with Carbon Ceramic brakes.

if you paint your steel brake calipers gold, you are a fake/imposter/wannabe
