Good shop for powder coating brake calipers?
Also, anyone know about how much I should expect to spend? Have been looking up how to do it myself with G2 but some people are saying for an amateur it'll take a whole day easy.

I suggest you source a second set of calipers. Paint that set and swap it when you do your brake maintenance (eg your yearly flush etc).

The reason is powder coating shops in Vancouver are not set up as car shops. They only do parts. So you can imagine if you take it to one shop, they take the calipers off, it needs to go to another etc. That's where the cost adds up and taking up shop space.

The DIY kit is cheap ($200). It is not that hard, I used a junk stainless steel washer as the cure oven. Yes that takes a couple of hours, but that's wait time.

Is leaving the car with them and they take apart the brakes an option? Or they only take the part that needs powdercoating.

Uh. Just leave the part. No shop will want to keep your car for weeks while its disassembled, sand blasted, powdercoated and re assembled. That's wasted shop space which equals money.

Can't seem to find this "Dyna Coat" place. The closest I've come to is "Dynopro Coatings Ltd".

Is this the place you are referring to?
