not sure if the heat would be an issue but i know for sure the media he used to bead blast the calipers would penetrate the seals, so i removed the dust boots and seals . that way i can inspect the bores and insure no debris is allowed inside before the rebuild. no way i want any kind of grit inside the pistons as these are super expensive and used are rare as can be. i spent 2 yrs collecting all the slk55 parts to do this swap

Steve, these are going to look superb my friend. Can't wait to see 'em bolted up.
You will, however, have to turn your garage into a clean room (think hospital) in order to install these without smudging them

That looks really nice! I gave up trying to find a local place to powdercoat mine white for a reasonable price. I can't remove them for downtime reasons either.
Have a white g2 kit that'll be diy in a few days.
