Thanks...and that's a pic recently (after 9 years), so it's held up nicely. To be honest, unless you need to rebuild the calipers, I'd save the time and effort and just brush paint the calipers without removing them. You can clean the calipers really well, prep em for paint, and then just cut a hole in a garbage bag and stretch it over the rotor assembly to just expose the caliper and then paint away. Good to go for over 9 years, so I'm not complaining. I also pressed in the PORSCHE caliper decals into the paint before the paint fully dried, so they look like they're embedded into the caliper which is kinda cool (instead of just laying on top of the caliper). Then, covered with light coating of clear.
