I'm thinking we'll arrive by 7:30 at the latest. We're all meeting up in Oceanside by 6:15 and taking the toll roads up by 6:30. Save some space for about 20 cars from SD would ya? See you later....
Thoroughly drain the caliper, retract the pistons in fully seated and plug the inlet with a short bolt and crush washer of the correct thread. Tape over the entire dust boot/piston area and have them run them in fully assembled form.
When done, unmask them and replace the bleeder fittings with new ones- NAPA will most likely have them.
There's no need to fully disassemble these prior to the PC work. Most powder is cured in the 375-400 range for a short time. The calipers will hold up to that without issue.
Taking them apart is fine too, however you best be 100% certain you get the bores masked and keep them masked during both the blasting and painting. If not you'll be in for some issues when you reassemble. Also you'll need to totally wash and blow and wash again to remove the fine sand that will be everywhere inside the passages. No thanks, been there, done that. No fun.

the shop doing them does only car/motor parts, they are very skilled at it. Wheels and Brakes are their specialty..
they want the calipers taken apart and they need a rebuild kit to put it back together, I prefer to do it the way they ask since I am not skilled at this..
so I need to find the rebuild kit, and so far I have had no luck finding it...
