I do my own powder coating. I'm interested in how you did it. Do you have any pics of the process? How hard is it to take them apart to do it?

Not 100% sure what you mean, If you do your own powder coating, i would think you would know what to do to be honest

Specifically I mean the disassembly of the caliper not the actual coating.

you just used compressed air and some blocks of wood, wood in the center (where the rotor would be, and used the compressed air to push the pistons out, just take your time and you can get them out pretty nice, sometimes you can still reuse all the seals/dust boots (sometimes the dustboots break), but its a good time to rebuild them with need seals and everything if you wanted too
