Here is the definition of powder coating from www.powdercoating.org
" Powder coating is an advanced method of applying a decorative and protective finish to a wide range of materials and products that are used by both industries and consumers. The powder used for the process is a mixture of finely ground particles of pigment and resin, which is sprayed onto a surface to be coated. The charged powder particles adhere to the electrically grounded surfaces until heated and fused into a smooth coating in a curing oven. The result is a uniform, durable, high-quality, and attractive finish. Powder coating is the fastest-growing finishing technology in North America, representing over 10% of all industrial finishing applications."

Hey Amish
The yellow P5 in the post that spikeyC posted was mine and I got the powder caoting done for both of us so it was cheaper all around. I also spoke to the paint guy and he said the coating is good to around 230°C so I think it would be okay for calipers.
I also asked about powder coating a valve cover and 4 calipers and he said an approximate price would be around $140-160 CDN. The minimum on the valve cover alone would be $80 CDN.
