The black paint on my calipers turned completely dark green from heat after my last track event, not to mention the paint is badly chipped on all four. Anyone have good advise on getting them repainted? Can you do it yourself? What kind of paint do you use that won't turn green like the factory paint? Thanks.

Yes, you can do it yourself. Just blow the pistons out and remove the seals, mask off the holes and sandblast. Take to your local powedercoat shop and have them slap a gloss black on there and you'll be in business. Prospeed has a web page detailing a brembo overhaul. They used to stock the replacement seals too.

You can check my site how I did.

Sandblast is not a good option, a glassblast is far more better.

Be careful about the seals bacause they are real expensive.

The powdercoat them. After the powdercoating use car polish on the calipers to prevent fading of the colour.

The Porsche text can be ordered from Porsche to use on the calipers.

Thanks for all the replys!

Think of painting them red or yellow as you are at it - it makes them stand out.
