also, the bleeder valves on the calipers have a real low torque spec and can weep fluid if used hard and not recently torqued (or over-torqued) - brake fluid will kill paint and clear coat.

+1 on the break fluid

psugrad93, see my previous posts, I found a great method for making them beautiful. Use VHT (not Duplicolor, does not match the red as well). Sand lightly and get the old clear layer off, spray with VHT (many fine coats), let dry, apply new sticker (I prefer this over stencil) then use a 'clear' engine paint, it makes them look fantastic! If you need to know where to get Porsche sticker I can dig out info, I posted it for everyone a while back.
