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.

i agree 100%, the gold calipers and carbon rotors are sexy.. but its a $10k option

so out of respect for authenticity and the guys that will have to maintain them, im gonna let them keep the distinction


but just always own who you are and what you have in the moment, dont ever be a wannabe

That's a good question. ADV1 doesn't publish that but I know they're lighter than stock and strong as hell. 🤘😎

CP springs up front to eliminate rake. No rubbing. My Michelins are PS4s and they're ... spectacular. (.)(.) 😎
