Notice they have 0 bids though. I believe that's a net to trap the "sucker born every minute" person.

There are a lot of Porsche owners that would spend that kind of cheddar for a lil paint.

IIRC, they have to be torn down and rebuilt to be powder coated

Powder coating has to be cooked, close to 400 degrees I think.
To do it right (and for 1100 smackers), they better be breaking them down and freshing them up! Hey, I just thought of something... wonder how hot the calipers get when you're hot lapping?? Gotta be hotter than 400 degrees, maybe they don't take them apart? What a scam that would be...
I do think it's a neat idea, but I've had plenty of stuff powder coated and I've rebuilt a caliper before... $1100 is a little heavy on the profit.
