Zellion_GT replied to the thread Cerakote for HPDE car?.I’m maybe will HPDE the car 5 times max a year. I’m not near a track and they’re costly. Car will see more autocross than HPDE in its life (see full post)
GAR944 replied to the thread Cerakote for HPDE car?.2K isn't a temp rating, its a paint system. Like a 2 part paint. Doesn't really matter what "high temp" coating you use.

GAR944 replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Honestly, they were damn good considering you were floating around in that seat. Being strapped in so you aren't using the steering wheel and brake pedal to hold your body makes a huge difference. A seat and harness would change how you feel the... (see full post)

mwjscn replied to the thread Cerakote for HPDE car?.Strip em down and have them powder coated if you want something nice. Or just VHT caliper paint and clear if all you care about is the color and it being a quick and easy job. (see full post)-

mwjscn replied to the thread Cerakote for HPDE car?.Applying a heat barrier coating to a caliper may be less-than-stellar for brake fluid temps, I think, but I'll let others weigh in. (see full post)

Wanting to paint my PP1 Brembos orange. I was gonna powder coat them but I’ve been told Cerakote is better. Looking at their C-128 Hunter Orange. Spoke to a representative, color can handle 450°F before dulling out. Coating can handle 1700°F. Is...
