Looks like....fantastic job by yr mechanic. Brilliant!

Thought big reds, big yellows cannot be properly re-painted, durability wise, other than AT the factory! As Porsche AG got some special material (watever that may be!) prevents paint, Porsche logo from fading at high temps, washing, etc.

Thanks for the post.

They had lots of layers it was a b*tch to sandblast them down.

That looks good...I am not sure how much your guy charges in Montreal to do this...but you can seriously do this at home for a small cost and a little time.

I refinished my TT brakes for about $30 for the pair..that was 2+ years ago and they look still look perfect today. you DO NOT have to sand blast the callipers either..infact I advise against it.

I can post pics if you would like.

Yasin - does sand blasting those precious calipers affect tire/wheel balance! If yes, how wud you go about ensuring the new paint wont come off, peel, if you only remove the upper layer of paint, and re-spray.

Not that I need to do that kind of work on my Big Yellow calipers, but there are couple of guys around with very rusted/corroded brake calipers. They tried re-spray, it didn't work, and the finished job, look so shabby - compared to the pics post above).

is it possible to strip the clear (light sanding?) and reclear? The underlying red on mine looks great.

Calipers don't spin, so no effect on balance.

cgfen

absolutely correct, if you do media blast, make sure you use glass beads, not sand.

yes, if done by a competent shop. I like using VHT brake caliper paint though.

you don't want to strip the clear, just lightly sand using 1500 - 2000 grit wet-n-dry, then re-clear.
Talk to your body shop guy for pointers.

Here are a couple of before / after photo's of a project recently done by "flatsixforme"

cheers

No Turbo Dan, these were done for a buddy.
They used Beads to take off the old paint and VHT then clear.
