Default Powdered Coated Calipers/Rotor Hubs?

A few more questions:

- Has anyone powder coated their Dodge Durango Calipers?
- How about the Rotor Hub/Hat?
- Is there any place to order colored powder coated Calipers?

I have recently purchased a vehicle that has Yellow Calipers. They look awesome. I do not know if Durango can be ordered as an option - though I would really consider getting my calipers Yellow Powder Coated. Also, as expected, my rotors are rusting. I would really like to Powder Coat just the hub/hat. I think this would like so much better than irregular rust all over the hub/hat. I have heard of people using high temp rust-o-leum on their hubs/hats. This is another option.

Use a caliper paint kit and do it yourself. Easier than having to remove the calipers to take them somewhere for powder coating.

Do you have a recommended brand/type? So I would only comment that normal paint would chip and peel - especially if calipers are not totally clean prior to application of paint.

I have seen pre-powder coated caliper/rotor sets being sold online as well. Though not so cheap.

Most auto parts stores sell caliper paint kits. I don't know the brand. I've painted many a caliper. It holds up well.
