that looks nice, i got mine in bright silver metallic to go with the wheels :)

Red calipers and "Porsche" lettering always look great!

I spent most of my day today painting my calipers red and just fifteen minutes ago put on my white caliper letters from xenonmods.com. I bought silver bulbs from him for the tail lamps and side markers earlier this year. He has a good business nickel and diming me to death!

I am glad this little project is over. Having all the wheels off and the car up in the air with jack stands, a floor jack and the jack that came with the car was not making me feel warm and fuzzy inside. :eek:

The results are great though, and I'm planning on taking some pix of the car with the new carrera lights and red calipers for everyone tomorrow. :cheers:

Randall and Djomlas, did you put a clear coating over the letters?

I painted the calipers red and put the decals (from xenonmods) on all four wheels. Then clear coated them. The decals look great. The calipers did too, until I changed brake pads a couple of times for DE's :(

I'd post some pics but, the computer the pics are on crashed, or rather got an incurable bug, a few months ago and I haven't been able to transfer them to this one.

I didn't even think about clear coating the letters.

What should I buy to clear coat them? Do they make high-temp clear coat paint?

i painted mine one caliper at time, with a huge jack that i have, dont trucst that puny looking porsche one at all.

and having all 4 wheels off w that on, i dunno man...thats asking for something bad to happen w crappy jacks

I used dupli-color engine enamel clear. Painted the calipers red, several coats, applied the decals, then sprayed the clear over the entire caliper (as much as I could without removing it). It came out great, and has withstood several DE's and normal driving for about 9 months. The only problem has been with changing the pads. Removing the pin has chipped the paint around the pin hole a bit, but its not enough to worry about and, unless you're bending over looking at it you can't see it.

hmmm i never thought about clear coating the decals. from what i see so far, they still look brand new. i have the white decals on yellow calipers, and they are still perfect.

but great idea to of clear coated the decals on.
