These finally came. Finish on these are top notch, even the internal fins feel extremely solid. Really nice for $300.00
The only thing I could wish for is these being made in 4.5-5" diameter vs. 4" - Will be installing these on Friday when I do my oil change. Installed pics to follow.

Be careful with the 2K Clear - you should have a respirator for that stuff! Try just the paint first since you may be surprised how shiny it may be, especially on small parts, but if you want to clear it use a rattle can of Krylon.

I just painted them outside, with an N95 mask on. But yes, you do need to take extra precautions with 2K clear.

You mean they are not as large as the OEM ones? (being RS OEM larger than non-RS OEM).

If you can take a picture with one installed and the other one not just to compare it would be great.

Thanks!

The OEM's are oval, so they might be equal or have slightly less overall diameter (horizontal) than than OEM tips, though the opposite (vertical) would be the case for these GT4RS Style tips.
I'll do a side by side comparison, both on and off the car.

I'd be interested to hear/see if these are any different in size than the Ninemeister's - images I've seen would make me believe they'er the exact item - nothing on their site that stated the overall diameter of their offering

I got a nice Porsche keyring in red leather with the Porsche crest. Doesn't quite match the Bordeaux leather in my Boxster 25 but looks nice and high quality. 45 bucks from Amazon.

These are nice. I got a green and a red one when i took delivery at PECLA. In hindsight i should have kept them but i didnt think i would be back in a Porsche so soon.

Now all you need is a blang blang keyfob cover!
I ordered a few on Amazon for around $20 - they definitely add a lot of character over the stock look.

That's a crazy deal. What does the clamp hardware look like?

What PPE is needed for 2K paint spraying?
Apart from the nature of the air source being different, the actual safety requirements for outdoor spraying don't really differ from spraying in a spray booth. So operators will still need a full mask, some disposable coveralls, disposable gloves, and ideally some tear-away visor protectors.
