Take off the caliper, apply brake cleaner, clean with simple green and wire brush, wash off, let dry, paint them applying about 4-5 coats, let dry, apply 1-2 coats of clearcoat, let dry, done.

yeah i wasn't happy with your painted calipers either...

How big is this oven? I was thinking of powdercoating my valve cover at the same time as well.
Depends on the shop, but I fit two 17" rims in the one near me.

If you still want stuff powdercoated I can do all your calipers and you valve cover for $50. Let me know if you are interested.
