Is it because they are calipers or you just can't find a powder coating shop?

Does powder coating or will do the calipers. You may have a bit of a problem because they will need to be perfectly dry/clean, no brake fluid at all and you will need to some how seal every hole up so powder coating won't get in and not allow you to reinstall the pistons and other fittings.

Did you Google "powder coating Chicago"?

Protek is a local custom powder coating company = you wouldn't have to ship your stuff to the east coast.

There's also Surface Technology Korporation, Extreme Garage of Illinois, Powder Perferfect, and R&B Powdercoating to name just a few, all in the greater Chicagoland area....
