I am interested in painting the calipers on my T . I like the look of red calipers, but a part of me might want to do something unique. Does anyone that has painted their calipers have any pics they could share?
Your existing Calipers from the factory are powder-coated, not painted. Most paint does not perform well on calipers with time, if you do a color change you should consider powder-coating them, which requires removal from the car and disassembly., While you will see posts follow this saying "Painting is fine, do it!" the reality is you should try to keep your new Porsche to at least the factory standards. Good luck..
Had my calipers painted Arena Red to flow with the Bordeaux interior. They were done through the dealer properly to maintain warranty. Very pleased with results.

What about specifying black PCCB's instead of yellow at time of ordering? Is the black also powder coated at the factory? The configurator says "high gloss black".

Brembo uses a polyurethane paint at the OEM level...NOT powdercoat. They also specifically advise against powdercoating if refinishing:
We never powder coat calipers as the process can very likely damage the calipers pistons and seals etc. We ALWAYS paint them properly in our booth. The secret is in the preparation and the quality of the materials. We have hundreds of our sets on the road (and on the track) with nothing but good feedback

exactly- when done properly it will last. I guess when people talk about painting calipers they associate it with someone covering the rotors with a plastic bag and spray paint...pics from my install. Calipers get completely dissassembled and removed, prep, paint (multi layer) and final coat, then adding Porsche labels. We used OEM porsche color too.
