Question Who does Top Quality Brake Calipers paiting?

Like equal or better than factory (that don't peel off at the first track day), including the Porsche lettering.

I can't stand the Yellow calipers in my Guard Red 991RS, in all my previous PCCB cars the contrast was bearable due to more neutral exterior colors, but this time it annoys me badly, and I wanted Guards Red with WP and Gold wheels.

I want to do them in Guard Red, Black, Silver, Titanium, Gold, anything but Yellow.

I noticed these guys do it (but shipping to UK could be pricey). I think you may be able to swap with someone who has red steel brakes (they would need to use big rotors like PCCB, ST, or Giro) and you would need to use Caliper spacers with your PCCB rotors, but not a big deal...

sorry to hear your troubles. This is one of the reasons I didn’t want PCCBs with my Guards red car. Too much of a Ronald McDonald effect.

And all but one of my Porsches has been Guards Red!

Kind of have to tell people where you are located before we can recommend you a place...

Car is in Florida, but I don’t mind having my shop ship the calipers anywhere within US, and I’m open to ship them to UK, Germany, as long as the job quality matches or exceeds the factory job.

I have had my cars on ceramic brakes for the last 14 years, any car I buy, if CCBs are available, I go for them, but Porsche forcing caliper colors is a little stubborn (White for the new metal, Yellow for PCCB, Red for big, Silver for medium, Black for small, Green for electric).

...and because more than half of the conversations in this internet public forum have to do with resale value, I have already acknowledged that my 2019 GT3 will depreciate due to a fake CCX modification.

I have a shop in San Diego. They painted the calipers for someone in yellow with the Porsche script as well. If it wasn't for the rotors without the holes in them, I could have sworn they were factory PCCBs. But honestly, most shops should be able to do this.

I have had Autoquest paint my calipers on my 991.1 RS in orange. They looked like they were done at the factory, no discoloration with heat.
they are located in Ft Myers...if you call them ask for Gavin.
