But the powdercoating is more what you can expect for a race car. The caliper will be red. It may have random dirt specs in the finish, it will have orange peal. But it will be stuck down and a high temperature red. Same price as listed below. Sorry but it just is what it is they say.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Old pics and original post below.<\/h2>\n<p>____________________________<\/p>\n<p>Are your calipers maroon, brown or even black from having too much fun with them? Is the clear coat flaking? Pink from the sun and wheel cleaning chemicals?<\/p>\n<p>For \u00a0EVO Brembo caliper painting and rebuilding we use Centric (parent company of Stoptech and Powerslot).\u00a0Front calipers are $375 for a pair for the service, rears are $260 for the pair. This is for a complete rebuild and powdercoat of the calipers. Basically they are re-manufactured to like new condition. It takes about 5-6 working days to do your calipers so plan on some downtime with your car.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a set of front and rear calipers that just came back:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Front Caliper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Box and package:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/front-box.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What you get:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/front-allstuff.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Front:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/front-face.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Click for more pics!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Top:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/front-top.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Seals and pistons:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/front-seals.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Inside Detail:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/front-detail.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bleeder Screw:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/front-bleeder.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pins and springs:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/front-pinsclips.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"516\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rear Caliper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Front:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/rear-face.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Top:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/rear-top.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bleeder and Fluid Bolt Details:\u00a0(old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/rear-bleeder.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Seal and piston: (old process, not a current pic)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/parts\/centric\/caliper-rebuild\/rear-seal.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"twttr_buttons\"><div class=\"twttr_twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Suffering+With+Brownbos%3F+Caliper+Refinishing+by+Centric+Brakes\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-via=\"\" data-hashtags=\"\" data-lang=\"en\" data-size=\"default\" data-url=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2011\/09\/11\/suffering-with-brownbos-caliper-refinishing-by-centric-brakes\/\"  data-related=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"pntrst_main_before_after\"><div class=\"pntrst-button-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\" data-pin-custom=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\"><img data-pin-nopin=\"1\" class=\"pntrst-custom-pin\" src=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-buttons-pack\/bws-pinterest\/images\/pin.png\" width=\"60\"><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2011\/09\/11\/suffering-with-brownbos-caliper-refinishing-by-centric-brakes\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"standard\"  width=\"450px\" size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"fb-share-button  \" data-href=\"http:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2011\/09\/11\/suffering-with-brownbos-caliper-refinishing-by-centric-brakes\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"small\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update 4\/8\/2014 We are no longer offering this service.
