No, I've done it before on other cars and it's not worth the effort I don't think, since you can't even see it. Plus you would need a few more cans of material to do all the inner barrels so it would end up costing more and taking twice as long.
The barrels on these were dark gray and the faces light gray and I didn't even notice until I took them off to paint them.
I did Spark plugs and Coil packs. The GTS has 64k on it and found the service interval online since It did not come with an Owners manual. I probably could have just done plugs. But I decided to just replace the coil packs too. Since this is new to me I did a bunch of maintenance stuff just to have a fresh baseline. I am glad I did the plugs. As I found some loose and one had oil on it. Which is one I am going to keep an eye on and that cylinder. It was the middle on the passenger side. Not sure if that is number 2 or number 5. All I know is it is running mint now and it idles much smoother now.

Nice work. And that plug actually looks great.
A did the same as you when I first got my car. Established a baseline for my self.
hardwired the Max360C today. Went with cigarette lighter to play it safe, can’t use it that much so it’s not even on the windshield usually. When I use it more I’ll swap it to something ignition dependent (which I initially figured this would be).
Why? If you open the overhead panel, I believe its the yellow wire, turns off radar when you lock the car. All you need is a 6" wire.
Recently I had the front air struts replaced and had to have a shop do it. I asked the shop for the 2 struts back. I wanted to turn them into a lamp. So I took one the other day and was playing around. Since I am an electrician by trade. I tend to make lamps out of old car parts for fun.
I have also done old rusted out oil cans and even race gas cans.
This was my very first Lamp. I broke the Balancer and flywheel in my racecar which whipped out the crank. So had to replace all 3.
I also just made this also last week. it came out extremely bright lol. It was a lawn mower grill.

Nice work with the lamp, did you use OEM replacements? I did the same last month and very painful even as a DIY.
Arnott pays $90.00 each fronts the fronts as cores.
How many miles on the original fronts? I almost made it to 200,000 with them.

Did you get just the bags or complete replacement? I'm thinking the shock wears out also.

I got my 2 front air struts from Arnott. The Cayenne only had 63k on it when I got it. I would get a chassis system failure just about every time I took it out. I could not get it to switch levels that easily. I started to read the forums and started doing some testing. I did get it to go into the highest level one night and I put it in Jack mode and the next morning I came out to this.
Then I took the plastic covers off and took an empty bottle and put some soap and water in and mixed it up and used it to find air leaking as you would for a tire. Found the top of the strut was leaking a lot of air.
To make it almost 200K is pretty damn good. I got this Cayenne used and don't know the maintenance history on it. So I spent the past month just going through it and fixing things. I did try to do this myself and failed. 2 different ball joint separators would not break the upper ball joint loose. I even ripped the Ball joint cover. I also tried to break it loose with a 5 lb lump hammer and hit the nut on the ball joint hoping it would break loose. Tried to raise the suspension to take pressure off of it. Nothing I tried to do was working. I ended up tightening everything and brought it to a Porsche shop and even they had trouble getting the driver's side to break loose. The guy said once it did break loose that he thought he broke his tool from the loud pop sound it made.

Always seems to be the right front leaking, will need a scan tool to diagnose it's and fairly simple now that I have messed with it twice and replaced everthing..PM if you need assistance.
Avoid Bilstein, Arnott and RMT.
