I took a few minutes to contact them and found out the following.

It is $250.00 per set of calipers you send them to power coat with the ZR-1 logo that Bryan posted. Their turn around time from receipt of them is 3-4 weeks since they are currently backed up. However, the normal turn around time is typically 2 weeks according to the gentleman I spoke with. They also can sell you remanufactured calipers that they can get for approximately $150.00, plus the $250.00 power-coating for $400.00
He said there is a one year warranty on the finish, but that it will last a very long time provided they are not abused or overheated to 450 degrees.

I think Jeff powder-coats brakes calipers as well, so he might chime in with his thoughts.

Thanks for the link Bryan.

Had my C5 calipers done by them a few months ago. They are incredible to do business with. The work was superb and they went out of their way to be sure I got them quickly and they even sent some re-assembly fluid in a bottle (N/C) so I could re-assemble mine properly . Absolutely the best vendor I have ever spent money with!!! John R. Sullivan '91 Polo (Burnt orange C5 calipers)

They sound nice John.

Would you be able to post a picture or two so we can see how

they look?

LGNDLT5 · 02-10-2006

Pictures will have to wait until COLD storage ends

in couple of months.
However they look dead on as good as the company website photos if that helps. John

That pricing seems out of line with their website. They advertise two NEW calipers PC'd with the logo, and with rotors tossed in for $449. They advertise the PC'ing being under $100 on that main page for almost all combos.
