Painted Brake Calipers
Does anyone know if the Brembo brake calipers are high temperature painted or a powder coated finish?

They appear as though they are powder coated.

Brembo painting
I received this from brembo at SEMA. Sounds confusing to me.
Brembo caliper painting instructions Parts to remove: Remove pads, pad pins, pad springs and rubber bleeder caps only. No other parts should be removed. Preparation: Caliper finish should not be stripped or removed. Only painted surfaces should be lightly sanded and repainted. All other areas that are metal or anodized (silver or black) finish need to be taped off. The following mounting surfaces should not be painted. The anodized area under the head of the caliper bolt. The anodized area of the caliper that rests against the spindle or caliper adapter bracket. The anodized area that the brake line mates to the caliper. Type of paint: High quality 2 or 3 stage automotive or aircraft paint can be used. Special Notes: Pistons should not be removed under any circumstances. Two piece calipers should never be taken apart under any circumstances. Stiffening bridges, stainless abutment plates or any other parts not listed above should not be removed. Brake fluid, harsh brake or wheel cleaners can damage any caliper finish. |
