Are you sure that "PORSCHE" is just a sticker clear coated later on? From the article quoted it seems that they paint brand name on it.
Wouldn't that sticker burn from the temperatures?

I would say "it depends". My 2004 TT has yellow calipers, but not PCCB. Yellow-painted calipers were an option.

I am not. I can say that Suncoast definitely carried high temperature paint for the calipers as well as the sticker (can't find it now to save my life). I don't know if the clear coat would protect the sticker from burning (no oxygen) or if there is another method.

Ok, it will be red repainted to yellow. Didn't know its such a process. Though it was simple powder coating. Will have to dig for a shop that knows their job.
Let me know if we can help....
