So im wondering, in order to get my brembos powdercoated, do I need to fully disassemble them? Or can they just be sandblasted and done? same with the rear regular calipers

You'll need to ask the person doing the powder coating as most require disassembly, but I'd say that they need to have the dust covers, seals, pistons removed, and the caliper completely flushed to ensure there is no fluid remaining inside as the coating/temperatures needed would cause problems. From what I read, Brembo states the seals will hold up to 415 degrees F and as powder coating nears that temp I'd remove everything and it will also ensure the powder doesn't find it's way into places not wanted.
There have been problems reported after powder coating when leaving everything in place.

Personally I'd paint the calipers and be done with it, or even have them sandblasted then painted.

I used the G2 Caliper paint. It's a 2 part epoxy that you brush on and it dries smooth with no brush marks. I was skeptical at first, but it turned out really nice. You can even get custom paint colors - they had Grabber Blue which was what I wanted in stock so it was cheaper than having to have them mix it.

Don't powdercoat aluminium parts. The head causes structural damage and can cause premature failure of the part in question. Get it anodized if you want and that is cheaper, safer and leaves the same finish with the same durability depending on what option you choose. There are different levels of thickness you can get that can give a different or similar effect.

Had my brembos powdercoated a few years ago. The condition and quality of the paint has not deteriorated whatsoever, could use a nice wash though.

Powdercoating the brembos requires a rebuild of the caliper which should be done by professionals only. Would buy again.

^ that too. You'll have to buy a boot and seal kit. Not too bad to do but just keep all that in mind.

If you have the means to paint them-do it.
