Alright Y'all I'm piecing together a Mopar specific project and I need some help. I'm putting SRT/Brembo calipers on a 8¾ rear axle. The calipers are obviously used, but my problem is the clear coat is starting to lift.
My question is, whats my best course of action? Keep in mind I want these to look as good and be as or more durable than the stock setup. Budget is a couple hundred neighborhood for the pair  .Thanks! |

Disassemble, get powdercoated, reassemble with new seals, etc

I painted the calipers on a 2000 Vette with walmart regular paint. When I got rid of it 5 years later thaey still looked like the day I painted them. Just make sure they are SUPER clean when you paint

I disassemble, use rustoleum and then bake the caliper halves at 350 for an hour. Been working since the 90's. Just don't hit em with brake cleaner LoL.
