Don't know.. I was thinking about doing that too mine.. But i'm unsure, because it's a lot of work.. You have to strip the calipers then you have to buy a rebuild kit.. Plus you have a lot of down time while your calipers are at the powdercoater..

This would not be a bad idea...however, if you're going to have them powder coated because they have changed over time, chances are you're not taking good care of them; in which case, it will happen again. Keep'em clean people. Typically when I wash my wheels I may sure I get to the calipers however I can, I know that space is limited though!
