The only parts you'd need to replace are the inner/outer seals. This is because of the 'baking' involved.

Remove the pistons and the pad retaining pin as well. Then, clean the calipers really good with brake cleaner and a wire brush. Stuff aluminum foil into the piston and pad retaining pin holes (you need to keep these bores clean and the original size), then shoot your powder and put them in an oven.

I did this to another car I owned using an Eastwood powdercoat kit my bro-in-law had and they turned out great and remained excellent through the next 5 years I owned the car.

The inner seals are not available from Porsche, but they are available from another source - search the threads here as it was mentioned awhile ago.
