Let me just start out by saying I checked out the pics on your website and your work looks amazing! I had a valve cover done by someone local and it doesn't look that good.

Now that I'm done swinging form your nuts I was wondering how well the powdercoat held up on the brake calipers? Also are car rims the same price to get done, $100ish a piece?

 

Thanks for the compliments. I do a ton of calipers, and have experienced zero problems with the heat. As far as the rims, theyre usually a little less per rim depending on size.

 

how much heat can your powder coat hold? do you do any high temp powder coating?

 

Normal powders 350F and high temps 1000F

 

I hate to be a ***** but I really feel I need to correct you on this. You say normal powders only hold up to 350 yet I ask you what are you baking your parts at? I own a rather large powder coating shop and our average bake temp is 385 - 400 and once cured these powders will withstand up to 475 on average. Also there are powder's that will withstand up to 1100 degrees. Dupont Sled Black case in point. It feels like 40 grit sandpaper and isn't all that attractive but it will take the heat.

 

Normal powders, if exposed to higher temps will start to prematurly break down, and dicolor. Yes you can cure a powder at 400F, which mosts are but if you keep it at that temp for too long the resins, and cross linkers will break down and the coating will fail in several ways. You can peak it up to 475F for short periods of time, but do it too often for too long and the powder WILL get destroyed. As far as high temp powders, i know they are availible, but they are a special class of powder and as i state NORMAL powders can go to this temp. High temp powders are usually silicone based, and while can take high temps, are limited in color to essentially flat blacks and flat silvers.
