painted calipers
where have you guys gotten this done and how much did it cost? i live in the baltimore, maryland area. i have them painted red currently, but was thinking about yellow for spring just to mix things up.

5 bux, can of high heat paint, and 7 bux shipped for 6 decals from xenonmods.com
some garbage bags for masking thigs off, and there you go.
can do it relativly fast.
i had red, now have yellow, looks elly cool
i opted for brembo decals instead of tiny little porsche ones

awesome. do you have pics? i like the porsche decals. ALSO, how do I get the red off of them now? i dont wanna put yellow over top of it. not to mention it alraedy has the porsche decals so i'd have to get those off in the "cleanest" way possible as well. thanks

Here are mine, it was done by Tony. If you want his contact info, just PM me. His powder coating survived the Salt Flats under high speed driving/braking and over 3k miles in a week. I would highly recommend him.

i agree with the previous post on buying a can of good high heat paint and getting the decals from xenon mods. i did it on my cayenne, painted them red, and put on the decals, looks phenomenol, and cost me less than $20. i think in the summer i might change it up to yellow....now that i know its been done and still looks great! if i spent all that $ on powdercoating, i wouldnt so freely have the option to change colors whenever i pleased

Tony is the guy that requires a deposit the calipers, just in case you don't return your core. It's rather high, but I got it back thou. hmm come to think of it he still has my Boxster calipers....
