Caliper Paint

and you'd still have a warranty til 2009!
That is one sports car bargain.
But even if they gave it to me for $30K and told me I couldn't sell it for four years I
would never buy a black car car I would spend all day drooling over and being totally pyshco about every little scratch, rock chip and swirl.
I could however spend $20K to have it repainted

Alright, which one of you just clicked the buy it now button on that auction? The car was just sold in the last hour!

Figures. The price was half of it's value, right?

[Perfectlap]

that guy can drive the car for the next three years and sell it for only a few K less than he stole it for. Somebody is having a great holiday already!

There's no way that car would sell for $57k. There has to be some angle or scam. Things this good to be true rarely are. Bidder beware.

price does seem too low, but if it is true, then thats a bargain and a half

HMMMM back to the topic!!!! I painted mine last year. I decided against the brush on stuff for a number of reasons and ended up using Duplicolor high temp paint. Mine were red and not yellow, but the procedure should be the same. OH.. and believe it or not.. the color is.........are you ready.......... Ford engine red!! An exact match to Porsche caliper red. I don't know about yellow, but given the large selection of colors duplicolor has, I'm sure you could find something to match. Anyway.. be SURE you clean them first.. clean them twice or you'll be disappointed in the results. I used brake cleaner spray and it did a terrific job. The brand probably isn't important. Mask off everything, spray at least two and probably three coats of color, apply decals, then two or three (at least) coats of clear. After a year of normal driving, and two DE's mine still look new........ok.. except for a couple of chips I got when changing the brake pads for the DE's. BUT, if you're careful, even changing brake pads won't chip them. Here are a few pictures

i would add a bit of red paint to the yellow, to get it closer to the real gt3 colour. i have my calipers painted in yellow gt3 paint. it's not the right yellow.
