i found a place that will blast them and powder coat them for £30 so it was easier to let them do it than do it myself with spray,
these guys will do a full set or rims for £120 as my mate had his done at same time smile
ill shove pics on when i put them on car, i think they are going look good behind dark wheels

What colour are they? I asked at a local place to me and I can get a similar price. Trouble is they could only offer black, white, red.

They look grey, almost porto on my screen. Last time I saw powdered white it was a bright paper white. I may be tempted to ask for white when mine are done.

They are definitely gloss white its the lighting,
as for sticker wrong way, i realized this after taking picture fortunately i put them on over top of lacquer as i forgot to give powder coater guy them to put on before lacquering so its an easy fix to remove and put new on.

szkom the place i went to had lots of different colors to choose from & its only down m60 from you in Ashton Under Lyne take a look.

you need to split the calipers so that you can get to the slider screws as i did my set today ready for new seals , sliders , slider bolts , pipes , blead nipples , joining bolts and red anodized paint for the front part of the calipers and red paint for the insides and back part of the calipers .

i'll give you ahand next time i'm down to split them Chris or just make sure you clean the slider bolts before you try removing them .

I was thinking more about brake dust and road grime than discolour .

They look damn sexy... I used to hope someone would ask me to do a set for them some other colour besides red... never happened. Bright green is my dream!

If you get a good paint finish on the calipers they clean super easy, I know the powder coated ones that I've got just wipe off so easy but two pack paint is pretty good too.
