Don't know about caliper painting, but I can vouch for tire service quality. Recommended.

I would have them powder coated as I doubt normal heat paint would last very long....do you know what their process is??

+1 on the recommendations for Simply Tire... they are a great shop. Plus Allen is a former p-car owner (beautiful, jet black 993TT)

Sultan, question for you, did you get your porsche calipers done at Allen's shop or another car?

I got the calipers on my 964 painted. They were peeling and starting to look hideous..so I had to get them done. I had contemplated powder coating, but this is a cheaper and quicker alternative (less hassle too).

Highly recommend Simply!
Had calipers painted by them - lasted the entire three years I owned a Mazdaspeed 3 - calipers cleaned up real well too - never tracked it, but I certainly put it through it's paces from time to time. If I kept the care, I probably would of refereshened the paint - so 3-4 years - pare $20/yr

They sanded down my calipers - cleaned them up, covered disks, etc - painted (spray - heat resistant) - and put on at least 2-3 coats - very quick to dry. Ate cookies while I waited!
