Yeah, I can. How many you want?
Pics 1 & 2 are after painting and applying the decals.
Pics 3 & 4 are immediately after applying clear coat.
Pic 5 is 11 months after they were painted.

agreed. the calipers represent something
Black = 2wd
silver = 4wd
Red = turbo

Oh yeah it's such a crime to break away from tradition, so many culprit's out there driving around in there C2 or C4 with red calipers
As for me I am so in trouble for having yellow calipers and they are not PCCB's

Everyone has red, yellow, or black. How about Zinnwaldite or Chartreuse?

I’m upgrading the brakes on my 88 Targa with Boxter calipers. I have both VHT high temp red and black, can’t make up my mind. Help!

I decided to spray high temp clear on the new calipers to preserve the painted Porsche script and retain the OEM black and gray.
