As long as you keep the car off the track, and the calipers don't need help in terms of seals, this isn't the worst route to take.

I think I might try the clear coat enamel in a can route. The issue with painting, re-labeling, etc. is obvious as far as cost, time, etc.

Do you happen to know what brand of clear coat enamel you used?

FWIW, I used G2 Caliper Paint on my old car. I took a long time to do it, following ever step very closely. The quality of the work was solid. After a few days on the track the calipers looked like crap again. If you plan on getting your brakes hot, powdercoat is the only option if you want to retain decent looks.

also, the bleeder valves on the calipers have a real low torque spec and can weep fluid if used hard and not recently torqued (or over-torqued) - brake fluid will kill paint and clear coat.

+1 on the break fluid

psugrad93, see my previous posts, I found a great method for making them beautiful. Use VHT (not Duplicolor, does not match the red as well). Sand lightly and get the old clear layer off, spray with VHT (many fine coats), let dry, apply new sticker (I prefer this over stencil) then use a 'clear' engine paint, it makes them look fantastic! If you need to know where to get Porsche sticker I can dig out info, I posted it for everyone a while back.
