I did paint them on the car. Should have removed them and done the break fluid flush. Just one more thing to do over the winter.

I took mine off to paint them because I also replaced the lines with stainless steel braided lines... ugggghhh getting the old lines off was very tough, and getting the ones one due to all the dribbling of brake fluid was tough was well. I think the easiest connection to break/make was the hard line at the back of the caliper so if you were painting and not replacing the brake lines it would not be so bad...

I only focused on the faces on my calipers, not realizing that the bottoms are very visible due to the way they are on the car. Luckily some paint did make it down there and they look decent...

If they ever need a touchup I am doing it on the car...

Was the Porsche lettering applied after painting or was it masked prior to?
