Are Yellow Calipers Same as the Red Ones?

Are Yellow Calipers Same as the Red Ones?
Anyone can confirm it please?
Both front and rear axis.
I am looking for this information because I am considering Miami Blue colour but only with steel brakes and yellow calipers combo.
As I am a compulsive OEM guy I don't want to paint original red calipers if that could be avoided.
So I have a chance to buy almost new yellow calipers so if they would fit steel rotors then problem is solved.
In case the calipers would need to be painted is it possible to have them painted same way as they come from the factory?
Are they powder coated? What's the colour code? How is the "PORSCHE" sign done?

If you are tracking you could order PCCB's and swap in Girodisc steel rotors in same 410f/390r sizes
then when ready to resell--swap back to brand new PCCB's
why not just use the PCCB's instead of steel? If it is a cost savings thing then the above doesn't solve that issue, so probably repainting reds to yellow is your best option

As others said, you will not be able to fit OEM yellow calipers to OEM steel rotors. It sounds like painting is what you need. There is heat resistant paint they use (was told before why it is better than powder coating but forgot), then a "PORSCHE" sticker that can handle the heat (sun coast has it, you have to dig for it), then all gets covered with heat resistant clear coat.

The yellow calipers are machined differently and have longer "ears" where they mount to the uprights to place them farther from the hub (to use larger diameter rotors, front and rear).
Red calipers can be made to use the larger rotors (with spacers), but yellow calipers cannot use the smaller rotors (would not fit over them).

Thanks guys for very informative responses!
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.

Your dealer should know who does that for them as it is not an uncommon request. It costs around $1,800 turn key here in Dallas, and they send it to one of the best body shops (Stuart's).

It doesn't sound like an easy process:

or is it just marketing bs?
If I have them painted will the colour hold same as OEM caliper's colour?
