A few more pics added of the faces of the calipers. Ready for coating....On a side note, Dex, Copper Metallic? Sure before the next step? Wanna ask anyone else on color choices or are you 100% set? lol
That looks soooooooooooooooooooooo good. I had no idea they'd look that GREAT! You truly are a powdercoating artist. I'm sure on the Copper Metallic. That color I really like. I have been drooling over that color since you first posted it. Post those pics again. I'd like to drool some more. My goals are to get some engine pieces done as well in that color. I'm 100% sure Bro. You have the green light.

Here ya go Dex. So your calipers will be this color. (in the pics are another set of Z32 calipers that were later powder coated Orange Yellow) Your Lettering will also be lightly polished like the media blasted caliper in this pic.
These pics show a few of the different options for hardware. The Yellow Orange Z32 calipers have a natural finish of the bolts etc. where the Lime Green Z32 calipers have the Black Out option.
Darth, thanks for this post. Yes this can be done. I can get pretty close to this, however, please note the process to get to a finish like this will most def. push the affordability out of most Altima owners. A finish like this requires about 4 layers of different powders, not to mention hours of sanding to get the surface ultra smooth and defect free, and thus the mixing to render a finished look like this is where the cost is. Think about how an auto maker designs a 1 off for a show like SEMA. The price to do so exceeds what most can or are willing to pay for the concept. This can be done in the copper finish you shared, as well as a red, blue, green, etc chrome finish.

That color is nice. It may be the lighting but the Copper Metallic doesn't seem to pop as much as thought/remembered. Please don't kill me for asking but do you have something a bit closer to this color:
I'd like something closer to that color with the blackout option. The lively colors really pop.

Tell you what Dex, lol, lemme contact my powder supplier and see what else I have access to. lol That pic is of a color that has a satin clear to make the color look more like an anodized finish. A gloss clear will change the look entirely. I will get back to you.
I def don't want to put you out. The finish doesn't have to be like that. I just wanted a more of orangish color to make them stand out a bit. PLEASE don't go out of your way. If you have an oranger color than the Copper Metallic that would be just fine with me.
