Calipers, brake/clutch master. Power coated?

[fouramdesigns]

Can these be powder coated? Never seen it mentioned here.

Replacement parts are difficult if not impossible to find.

If something got damaged during dis/reassembly you'd be screwed.

I'm thinking the answer is no.

Who makes an inexpensive black brake/clutch master?

the coffin style can be had for about $100 each

No others I'm aware of.

I'm not talking about the reservoir, the actual Brembo cylinder, where the lever attaches.

I realize that.

The coffins are cylinder and res all in one.

Yes, exactly. But the levers are ugly, maybe I could locate some inexpensive. Thanks DP

They make paint for calipers. Might be the way to go. I painted some of the gold line calipers black for my 620 a while back.

you can get replacement oem parts off other bikes for cheap. goldlines off an s2r or older 998. or even radials off a 999 for about 100 a piece.

and as dp said, you can pc anything you want, but anything that cant stand up to 400 degrees must be removed, and if it gets damaged you need to be able to replace it (specificly o rings, gaskets, or any other plastic/rubber items)

If you can afford to let the parts cure for at least a week, you can look into the epoxy based firearm finishes like Durakote or Alumahide II.  No FHE here with Durakote, but Alumahide is holding up well on my Fork bottoms and other misc. parts. 

DP's warning about UV damage to epoxy finishes is on target.  If you go this route, finishes last longer if you keep your machine stored in a garage.

duplicolor also makes a caliper paint that you apply with a brush. its tough stuff from what it seems.

I've chromed and powdercoated calipers and brake/clutch master and slave.

Carefully disassemble.  Make sure all bores and mating surfaces are protected when media blasted.  Make sure whomever is PC/chroming has done before -- they will be aware of  how to keep mating surfaces and bores clean.  Chase all thead holes with a tap before assembly.

Never a problem doing.  But if you lose parts / seals / etc -- you will need to do some serious searching for parts.

Biggest deal with PC is getting the color to match exactly what you want.  Do a sample piece on junk scrap before committing all your parts to the process if you are using a non-standard color.  Nothing looks worse than a funky red for calipers/etc that doesn't match red painted parts otherwise on the bike.

Painting is still the simplest process.  And easiest to correct if you have a color mismatch.
