Caliper painting

[healthservices]

I have gone thru no less than 5 boxsters in the last 5 years and everyone of them was painted with the off the shelf ceramic caliper paint, stencils from ebay followed upped with some more off the shelf wheel clear-coat in a spray can from the automotive store.

Best part is if your ever need to touch up or repaint, the correct color is as close as the parts store.

If you powder coat, the only proper way is to tear down the caliper and put new seals afterwards.

+1 on the off the shelf caliper paint. I used the G2 stuff and sprayed it through my airbrush. I had to thin the paint a bit to get the right flow. It turned out great and seems more durable than the stock finish.
The key is to remove the calipers and take your time. You don't have to remove all the paint, just sand/smooth edges and chips. Clean them really we'll with denatured alcohol before spraying.
