There should be no kidding around when it comes to such a historical practice.

Im inclined to blame the Porsche Tech who just had my car for a week doing all this work.

Should I call the dealer and ask for a discount for the emotional distress its causing as a result of cyber bullying??

I was almost drummed out of the Corps for my lack of attention to detail on this. These days I use a bent piece of wire coat hangar I repurposed into a Porsche Wheel Crest Alignment Tool.

I have the same car lol, same color and wheels. That looks great. Even if you had clear markers, still would look good. Very nice!

Ok... Do I replace the orange side marker with the new clear LED one now?
I know some people said leave it since they match the brakes, but I like the way these look at night a lot better??

LexVan, can you please clarify, I see 3 different spray paints in your pics:

1) Dupli-Color caliper paint,
2) VHT Caliper paint
3) VHT Flame Prof.

What did you actually use and what is the best process?
Thanks

Sure, my old post here should help you:

https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1124...vent-fins.html

Let me know if you have more questions.

1) Dupli-Color caliper paint,- since I probably needed 2 cans of paint, I wanted to try both colors see see what I liked best
2) VHT Caliper paint- see above
3) VHT Flame Prof.- this is clear coat at the end, that I baked in the oven when the wife was out!

Low, and slow. Like a nice braised beef short ribs.

I forget exactly, but it was on the can of Clear VHT Caliper paint. Napa Auto Parts is where I bought most everything. It was something like 200 degrees for 4 hours. Check to make sure. You can fit about 2 rotors per household oven. LOL!!

Helps all the high temp paints and clear cost cure to a more durable, heat resistant, coating.

I say no . I am in the minority, but I vastly prefer the original orange side markers. (Especially on GT Silver, I think it looks fine, but I can see other colors where it's not quite as good an option...)
