caliper painting question
 

How much of the existing paint has to be removed before painting? Can I just remove any flaking clearcoat edges, rough up the existing paint (removing the Porsche name) and then clean it? I ask because all the posts I'm finding show the caliper taken down to bare metal before painting.

Thanks.

That's what I did, removed the flaking clearcoat, scraped off the porsche labels, sanded it down, and painted with VHT Red high temp caliper paint, followed by clear and then regular old decals from eBay.

However, don't ask me to post a photo, the car is a track car and they look terrible :)

It has been holding up though the last several years.

Used Brakecleen, wire brush, 80 grit scuff sanding, painted with VHT, red and clear, ebay graphics, 3 years old still look good, not a good picture of the colorhttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1522777214.jpg

Thanks for posting that ridiculously huge picture.
