I would do each calipers in a different color. Because fuck all the haters!

 

but which one looks the GREATEST?

 

Static pic @sockr1

 

Looks great thanks! (Ps the @ symbol doesn't work here like it does in other things)

 

 

Thats me! Its actually red, that picture had no filter.. Torneador Red Pearl by duplicolor.

 

I'm digging those multi spoke wheels you're TL is wearing, numairh!

 

Great looking wheels.

 

Red on ABP! I want to paint them sky blue though to flow better with the car.

 

^^^

 

 

Here is an update everyone...Can you guys guess which ones are mine?.....

 

I'm guessing you went with the red because the yellow has 1 pot rears. Unless you're upgrading lol

 

I'm surprised they don't disassemble the caliper when powder coating. Interesting.

 

actually its the orange ones. The red ones are not acura ones.

 

they all look red to me except the yellow ones

and yes adam, disassembly is the proper way but If I'm not mistaken the 3g brembos can't be split like the RL calipers

 

not split, but taking the pistons out and the seals and stuff. I dunno. I've never powdercoated calipers before, but I thought that was the proper way of doing them. They bake them at pretty hot temperatures, so I'm not sure if there is a chance of damaging anything.

 

I see orange calipers, second from the top. a very reddish orange.

 

well if they were put in the oven with all of the seals still intact then thats a big no no. the seals would just degrade badly. I did that when I had my valve covers done, I forgot to take out the spark plug seals and they were fucking done when I got the covers back..

FWIW, im splitting my RL calipers myself , then send them to the powder guy, then ill reassemble them with all new hardware and seals

 

lol ya thats not orange looking to me at all, certainly not like a burnt orange or a halloween orange, that shit looks red lol

 

They look good, but the seals may be shot. Looks like they PC'd right over them.

 

Here is the finished product. They dont look red to me. And all the seals were replaced with new ones except the small one that is between tbe calipers since they were not split open. There are many that say they need to be split open and some that say they dont. This is my second set that have been powder coated by the same place. The first set has mo problems at all. So im not worried about this set either. I cant wait to put them on

 

^ how much does something like that cost? Also did you disassemble or did the shop do it?

looks great!!

 

X2 on cost

ans can you specify which seals you replaced? Looking into possibly getting mine done and want to know what to expect

 

thanks bro. It was $300 to do the full set. The shop disassembled everything.

 

this is like that fricken dress debacle all over again (it was blue and black by the way) but lmao I seriously don't see orange and I'm trying really hard to do that. Both ways they look sick and can't wait to see them installed!

 

Looking good!

 

Those Look Awesome! i wish i knew of a shop in the southeast (i'm in Charlotte, NC) that would handle the process start to finish for me.

 

Also have ABP and the paint is peeling off the calipers. After reading this thread, I think I'll be painting them a metallic gold with black brembo decals. Because I couldn't find ANY other pics of painted calipers on an ABP TL (besides the one above), I might post some of my own assuming it turns out decent (in case any other ABP owners are curious).

 

Here's what VHT burnt copper looks like on abyss blue pearl. Sorry for the pic quality, had to take em with my phone.

 

^^looks good!

 

accents the turn signals very well.

 

What part of Wisconsin are you?

 

 

Abbreviation for the paint color Abyss Blue Pearl. KBP = Kinetic Blue Pearl

Err, the Type-S calipers are Brembos. The RL 4 piston calipers are something else. Not sure who makes em, but it's not Brembo.

 

the RL calipers are made by Advics....
