89 Turbo brake caliper rebuild

Where did you get that bit of information? It's wrong, we strip calipers down to the core and they are painted.

Black old school Brembos are anoidzed then clear coated. Red ones are powder coated. At least all have been, which i have refurbished (so far i have done around 100 calipers). I also strip calipers down to core and it is easy to see what method Porsche (or Brembo) used.1-3 thick layers won't last very long on calipers. We have used powder coated caliper under race cars without any difficulties. I suppose you drive faster in USA, so you have to use painted calipers insteadt.

These guys seem to have nice paint assortment for calipers. http://www.brake-caliper-painting.co...per_paint.html
Powdercoating is too thick and too brittle for calipers, I doubt that Brembo used standard powdercoating paint dust / technique.

That ruby red finish looks amazing...
I've used the Duplicolor caliper paint to before through a Preval sprayer. I didn't even thin it...the sprayer is disposable and we'll worth the $7-8 investment.
I have a friend who uses it with G2 also.

I have a complete factory rebuild kit for front M030 calipers available if anyone is looking.
I was going to do mine sometime in the future but instead bought a rebuilt set of Calipers as spares.
I have all the components including Pistons, Seals, Lines and bleeders.
This post will be edited to include a price once I figure out what is fair.
