OK..
I did some searching but couldn't find anything that really answers the question.
So I need some people smarter than me to bail me out of a little pickle I got myself into.
I've ordered the CTSV/ZL1 front calipers from Maureen @ Rodgers.
Went to drop them off at the powder coaters this morning with my stock SS rears to get them powder coated red.
The guy there said he HAD to remove the seals and pistons or he wouldn't powder coat them... He was afraid that baking them at 400 degrees would damage the seals...
On the SS calipers, No biggie the replacement kit is something like $40 for the piston/seal kit and 40 for the dust covers for both calipers
On the CTSV calipers... try $ $520 for the piston/seals and $83 for the dust cover.
Having said that... My question is.
Is it safe to powder coat calipers with the seals in them?
I'm thinking the CTSV/ZL1 caliper components are going to be pretty heat resistant to begin with. So, I'm leaning towards finding a place that will do it with the seals in...
Another argument for leaving the seals in is to avoid contaminating the brakes with solvent or the sand blasting media...
I'm looking for some opinions.
