There is a guy on camaroZ28.com that was asking if people would be willing to pay $100 for the powder coating, but I think you'd have to take them off and ship them etc. Just paint them, the paint lasts longer than you think if you get the right stuff.

Yah, r1 concpets makes a very good product. Never had a problem with the rotors on Epic since I installed them and I just bought a set for the Astro Van.

why do you think you should wait till after winter for the install?

and the powder coating is really not worth it.. you obvisouly have no idea how much of a pain it is to completely remove all 4 calipers and replace them lol..

I installed new rotors that I got from r1 about a year ago. Check out the post I put up about them. It was posted under here and was called new rotors installed. It has pics of them. I also painted my calipers at that time also. I used the Duplicolor kit...Don't waste your money on it. Just go out and get some high temp paint and paint them that way.

Ive replaced calipers before and its not very hard. Replaced them on my truck incuding the rotors calipers and it had 4x4 so it was even harder then doing calipers and rotors on a camaro, but it was still easy for me.

its not that it is that hard.. its just kind of a pain, its messy (since brake fluid s everything it touches up), and its time consuming..
