Yes, they do. The calipers do not get nearly as hot as the pads and the disks.

Doug,
No offense taken. A little door rubbing on the list is fun

I had mine professionally powder coated (red) and they silk screened the Porsche text on them, then did the clear coat. This was a bit pricey (don't ask......), but they looked like the factory Big Red powder coating job when they were done. I didn't want to be a poser either , but the stock calipers are very nice looking and when they're red they really add an awesome visual enhancement to the car. The stock brakes are so good too that I didn't see the sense in spending the money to upgrade to the Big Red units all around.

The powder coating held up perfectly and you could use the high pressure nozzle at the car wash to spray the brake dust and dirt right off. The clear coat didn't let anything stick to them.
