Again, the calipers are painted, not powdercoated. Please refer to the thread linked on the previous page.

As a point of interest, here's a current discussion about powdercoating the Brembos:

Professional Detailing Products

AF901 Acid free Wheel Cleaner.

1128 Tuscarawas Street West

Canton, Ohio, 44702

Phone: 330.454.5104 or 800.321.8884

This stuff is amazing. Just dump some into a spray bottle and spray your wheels / sidewalls. It will actually pull the dirt out of the tires. Spray it down, then wipe whats remaining of the brake dust with a rag. This stuff is awesome and has NEVER hurt my rims. It can also clean your tires so well the red/green dots on the sidewalls will re-appear on the A046s! Trust me, Ive been using this stuff for over 6 years. I also recommend their Hawiian Shine car wash.

Just to sum it up. This stuff will make cleaning the calipers alot easier. And it will not eat the finish, period.

Since you want to correct people's grammar I should point this out to you:

It should be it's as in "it is."
