Anyone have any shop recommendations for powder coating brakes in the GTA?

Metal Coaters!

You can look em up on fb too. Prices are very fair and work is great.

Take it to simplytire on Toro rd (finch/keele) they painted a whole bunch and it's a cheap price too.

I passed by there, and from my understanding its just a spray on paint. Dont get me wrong, these guys are great -- I've bought a few sets of tires in the past from them, I just think the job isnt as meticulous as it could be.

I've seen a few cars come and go from there that have some overspray in the wheel wells and other suspension components. I'd rather save my money and paint it myself as I know my prep work would be more in depth.

HOWEVER, Will you inquired about powdercoating -- I wanted to do this as well, despite the cost being a major factor I contacted Fireballcoating.

Fireball Performance Coatings - Home

They sounded legit, pricing was fair (PM me for details). I may be going to them come May/June.

Yeah, it's basic and fast spray, so it's not really for the folks looking for good amount of detail. I painted mine myself with high temp engine paint and even though I took them off and cleaned them a lot, the paint slowly but surely is chipping off as it's impossible to get the old calliper fully clean and the callipers get a lot of interaction with other parts when I frequently swap pads.
Would be interesting to see a true powedercoat on a new clean calliper.
