I finally got 4 days off!
I decided to spend my first morning installing the new red powder coated calipers(and new Brembo pads) that have been setting in a box in my garage for several weeks now.

Hey, where did you get the calipers? I am not really easily able to do the painting, so would like to purchase a full set.

I was looking for used black calipers that then I could paint ahead of time (or have powder coated) and install them in one day.
I found these used for a great price.
I’m planning on selling my black calipers now.
I‘ll include the Porsche stickers I bought before I found the red ones.

I found them on EBay.

Those look fantastic!!!! I was going to have mine re-coated this winter in black (keep it toned down) but hard to beat classic red calipers!!! Were they recently redone or were they just a clean old set?

They looked flawless, except one had a tiny nick.
If I had just paid ($800 is the local cost to have a set done to this quality) to have them done, I would have been satisfied.
The white “Porsche” name is paint, not a sticker. I can’t even feel a raised area with the differences in color.
Well used black sets cost $800+.
I only paid $1000 for my red set.

I have no idea if these replacements are a new material. I’d almost bet that they will get sticky again. Mine were absolutely terrible so they warranted replacing. I plan on replacing my stock unit with the Continental at some point but I’ve got more important things to upgrade first.

Can I extend to 4 track days?
I know it is difficult to comment with only 2 samples, but so far I am strictly limiting myself to 3 track days between oil changes. For convenience, 4 track days would be dramatically better. Both of these samples have approximately 3 track days plus miles to and from the track. Am I able to extend to 4 track days?
