I know. I was saying Red was factory when painted other than black.

Make sure you get some go fast stickers to match your brake upgrade

just go and get some high temo paint for your local auto store for 4 bux.
works fine, and can go up to 3000 degrees or so..

Hi,

I used the G2 Kit and it works quite well. I removed my Calipers to paint them and used multiple coats - tricky because the Hardener gives you a fairly small window. But first, I wire brushed them well and used lots of Brake Cleaner to insure good paint adhesion.

I also used the Porsche stickers from xenon mods - not cheesey Brembo labels. Actually think it enhances the look considerably, especially with a Guards Red car...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

any color listed would look good on a black car. if you went red, they'd look like Big Reds. I have a yellow 986 and painted the calipers yellow with regular paint. I didn't use the high heat because, years ago my dad painted his calipers yellow with the same paint I have and in 8 years it hasn't chipped or rubbed off or anything. I still need to get new stickers though.
