I want to get my new brakes powder coated. But have no experiance with it at all.
What are prices people usually pay to get them done?
So far i have been quoted £50 but that means taking the whole thing to bits for it to be done.

Where ever you take them to it will need to be dismantled..
Tbh at the same time you might as well get them rebuilt with new seals..

Well yeah, they have to be taken apart, otherwise everything ends up powder coated together and then they don't work any more
CAS coatings in Yorkshire somewhere are supposed to be reasonable for wheels (£1 and inch, so 15" wheels are £15 each!) so they could be worth a shout

Yes he is, but the GTi has been replaced with a HDi so it makes sense

Only because you don't want to get paint under your nails
I used etech brake paint and haven't had any problems, but heard other people have had major fails with etech paint products.
