I cant view youtube on here, i had a quick google but its easier to ask than wait ages for pages to load. I dont like DIY on my car tbh ive seen more bodge jobs than good most of the time. I would paint the callipers on my saffy but wouldnt think about doing that to brembos

Im glad you have that skill, but i have seen so much bodge jobs. Christ my V40 had a full respray in a booth and the paint is as rough as a badgers arse, and theres no amount of detailing i can do to get rid of it becuase its all under the laqure. And the alloys were painted theres too without spray cans and look pish if you look closely.
not saying your not good at what you do but from my experiences with even profesionals spraying a car is a true tallent and the tallented people are few and far between out there. There is only one I would trust up here and they cost the earth unfortunetly

not to sound stupid but if you get them power coated won't it come off again when the calipers got hot?

Yes really.. lol

If I had that car the calipers if anything would go only slightly darker anthracite or more likely remain the same if they needed overhauling due to chiping etc..
