Caliper Repaint - tamagee - 03-30-2013
Just finished repainting my Boxster's calipers. Easy to do and only took a few hours. A note to everyone else - suck it up and just remove the calipers. I expect it took me longer to paint them on the car then remove, reinstall, and flush.
I used the kit from http://www.g2usa.com/ and the spray method using a Preval sprayer. Grabbed Porsche labels from eBay. The red isn't an exact match, seems a little to orange.
