Powdercoating Question
I just recently powdercoated my brake calipers and I have gone ahead and applied Brents decals to them. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is safe to clear coat over powdercoat. I called BMR where I had my parts done and they had no idea. I figured I would check here and see if anyone knows.

I can't think of any reasons that it wouldn't be safe though. Just make sure to use the proper clear coat (High temp - Automotive).

I did, I called BMR and they said they didn't know.
Yeah I was suprised as well... I think I will just take your advice and go ahead and try it with the high temp clear and pray that it turns out nice.

I powdercoated my calipers red, then put camaro decals on, then did a clear powdercoat on top. They look beautiful. That was about a year ago, they still just wipe or powerwash clean and look like new. The clearcoat on top makes the decals look like they are etched into the caliper.

Decals, you know the brake caliper decals? You an get them on Brents site. Anyways the reason for my post is to just say that I used the High Temp clear coat and it worked perfect for anyone else who runs into my similar situation.
