Ditto. I used an outfit that came to the house and prepped and painted the brakes in my garage.Except for a small portion on the rear of the caliper you need to drill into with flashlights in order to see, you would never know that that the calipers were not removed from the car. The vendor also had a handful of stories and issues they have encountered where users tried to remove, dissassemble, rebuild and powder coat the calioers themselves. Take that with a grain of salt,

And yes, powder coated calipers is a big project, one that I put off for so long that I never thought it would happen... until it did. No regrets.

Haha. Cosmetic stuff is done. I still need to buff and ceramic coat the passenger side of the car. Didn’t get there over the winter and just need an hour to wrap this up. Still trying to get good pictures. Busy. But, I love the overall look. It’s so far removed from what a base G37 looks like that it could easily get mistaken for some unknown sedan.,,

Mechanically I will wrap things up with new plugs and belts and a throttle bottle service next time I am in for an oil change, And maybe hi flow cats one day.
