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??

No it's not (it's not necessary and it's not a silly question) but... if you decide to do it, make sure you put them on the car immediately and flush the living crap outta them.
Nothing in the process affects the rubber seals, but there is acid involved and if it sits it can rust and eat up your calipers and the piston innerds (that's a Jethro term for knock back mechanism). |
