Not sure if you can powder coat your brakes mate due to the heat.
What part of your brakes are you wishing to coat?

I had my diff done at a place at Kings Park. Sorry but I don't know the name of it, a mate in the trade got it done for me.

Most any powder coat shop can powder coat your brakes for you, I had mine done. You'll need to have them sandblasted clean and then rebuild them afterwards. Not sure on the logo thing though.....

Everyone says something different, but I was discussing this with both a brake shop, and a sandblaster, and both recommended against it due to heat. Ring around and find out from a few different sources.

well after talking to race brakes in sydney they said just to get a panel better to do it for me. i spoke to a few shops even MFX(airbrush). all said it wont be a problem, the concern i have is the heat stripping the paint. should i be worried?
