I read an article on the bird board about guys powdercoatig an entire assembled caliper, with the pistons in it. Now, I know they get hot but is this really a smart thing to do to the seals in there??

The calipers on my RS America are powder coated from the factory. Consider when racing how hot the brakes get, have you ever seen bright red rotors during the night running of Le Mans, Datona, or Sebring, they be real hot. This is my second reply, think it ate the first one.
Later, Don Oh yeah, super blue brake fluid is rated at around 580 degrees F. That's still hotter than powder coating |
