I'd like to have my calipers powder coated. I'd want them to match the body color, My car is Verde Mantis. Has anyone here been able to find the right color match when powder coating? Do you have a source or paint/powder color code. Do you guys recommend painting the calipers to get the proper paint match or powder coating, How long does the paint typically last before it starts looking bad. Also I have ceramics are stainless steel lines worth doing at the same time, I will do a brake flush I like Motul RBF600.

Powder coating is harder than paint so will last longer but you will be limited to the colours. You will also need to have the calipers fully stripped and re built as the heat will kill the rubber seals during baking.

Paint will give you the correct colour match and will last well, I would not be concerned. Plus don’t need a full strip. Heat is the big problem so track days may cause some issues. Chemicals also won’t help but as u have ceramics that’s not an issue.
