And can these be painted a high gloss instead of being anodized?

pm me pricing for 8pot front and 4 pot rear...they don't happen to have coils for the 2nd gen do they..?
Is painted more durable than anodized in general? I didn't know this was an option.

Paint and chrome are extra, anodized is standard.
What color paint do you want? Anodizing makes the color a part of the aluminum, I would say the preferred method for aluminium calipers. I'll let others chime in, but I would anodize over paint when I can on aluminum surfaces, even over powder coating. That's just me.

I thought you were changing asking for paint. Anodizing and paint are different color characteristics.
Different finish though, your body paint will have a clear coat, the anodized is a bit more of the raw aluminum finish and looks great out of the gate. Both are very nice but in Chicago I might go with baked paint for added durability. You will occasionally see the guys that have high end anodized brake calipers looking for paint matches.

Considering going with huge KIDO calipers if I can sell my JBT's for a solid price. This upgrade dealeo is going to be the death of me and my kids college education.......

You think the KIDOs are an upgrade from your JBT kit?
I don't have any inside info - just curious. I wouldn't have thought they would be THAT high quality a product. I'd really like to see a side by side comparison.
^ Valid point. Be nice to see a group of BBK's and confirm the build quality across the board, so hard to tell what's what. We know that that JBT makes big names (that they won't readily share) the same is true with KIDO. So do they employ the same quality build throughout the product bloodline? I know my JBT's have been bullet proof.
Is your JBT setup painted or anodized? Painted I'm assuming. I guess I should pay more for a more durable finish if that's the case. Chicago winters can be brutal. Since your talking about caliper size, I guess my setup will be huge. 8 pot front and 6 pot rears. :eek.:
