Default Best way to re-condition STi Brembo calipers?

One of my gold brembos has had the gold paint scraped clean off, presumably by a stone trapped between a wheel spoke and the caliper.

What is the best way of getting them back to A1?

I'd rather not paint them, so is it possible to strip them down and have them powder coated etc?

Anyone got any pics of theirs having been re-done?

I did some second hand rear Brembos by thoroughly cleaning them, then painting with Smoothrite red, and finally, replacing the "Brembo" transfers.

I reckon they could be powder coated, but would need a complete strip first.

Ian Godney at Welcome To Godspeed Motorsport will recondition calipers cheaply.
