Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

I expected a nice piece knowing Kevin when I got him to do a job for me bt what I got far exceeded my expectations. I did not know brake calipers could be this good. When I felt them they are as smooth as glass. Better than any powdercoated parts from ECE or Brothers that I have ever bought.

Thanks so much Kevin.

Wow!! Great Praise!!! I havent personally had anything done by him but hell be getting some things from me in the near future.

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

Love to see someone taking pride in their work!

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

I agree. A commodity hard to come by these days.

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

How do the rubber seals in the calipers fare in the oven, or do you disassemble them before you spray and bake?

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

I don't think Tx has ever done ANYTHING 1/2 azz. He's good people.

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

He actually requires a rebuild kit on them. He includes it in the price I believe. He would not stand by it he says unless the rebuild kit is put on it.

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

I believe you, wasn't trying to call anybody out. Just curious. From what I've seen the work is top rate.

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

No I did not believe you were calling anyone out, it is just that he believes the oven might screw the seals up and he does not trust brakes unless they are for sure. He has worked too many accidents.

Those turned out awesome! Kevin is in my future contact list for some PC'ing as I know he takes the time to do it right... the first time!

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

Oh those look so good...Is it a myth about coating calipers. I was given the impression that a caliper can't perform 100% because of the heat build up coatings can cause. Trapping heat, bringing fluids up to an unacceptable temp range. Or does this apply to road racers only? Any opinions?

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

Good question....

someone send me money so i can send him parts..
he he he

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

On those calipers, I actually went down to O Reilly and swapped for a fresh rebuilt set (under 30 for the pair). Then, I popped the piston out, removed the seals, coated and reassembled them.

I don't think heat buildup due to the coating is an issue. Look at all of the high end brakes, both OEM and aftermarket. A huge majority of them come from the manufacturer powdercoated in colors. Think Brembo, all of their calipers are coated bright red right out of the box.

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

yes brembo all do come pre powedercoated...
i would be livid if i sent that kind of money for sonething and then had to spraypaint it...

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

I can also vouch for Kevin's work. I live close to his work and picked up some LSx brackets for another board member. They looked great, like show quality!

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

I will chime in on the praise as well. He bead blasted some parts for me and they were shipped fast and at a very fair price. Parts look great. I would have had them PC'd but I am painting them to match the truck and this worked great and saved me a ton of time prepping the parts!

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
 

I bought some patch panels from Kevin today and got to see some of his powder coated work....the wife and I are very impressed and will be getting some stuff coated in the near future.....hell of a nice guy too!!!

Don't worry Kevin.....no man-crush here ;) :lol:

Re: Tx Firefighter - "The Best Powdercoater Ever"
