Caliper Rebuild / Paint

Does anybody know of a company that will rebuild & paint calipers? I tried PMB Performance but Eric said they don't have kits to rebuild the 996 calipers.

I know this post is a couple years old, but did you ever find someone in Dallas area to do the caliper painting/logos/etc? Thanks

When I still had my 996, I was looking for this kind of a service. I found several places using a Google search that will strip the finish to bare metal and then refinish them in the color of your choice. I'm sorry that I don't remember the name of any of the companies. What I do remember is that the service isn't cheap!

Here is a shop. Lots of them around. I used a place in NJ a few years back came out great BUT he Porsche sticker wound up to be a problem. Never could figure out how to make that vinyl decal stick. Best approach is probably white high temp paint with stencil you can buy on eBay. Never worked out well for me to be honest with you. But I suck painting anything! Just look up powder coating on Google. Caliper rebuilt kits can be purchased from your dealer. http://www.armortechpowdercoating.co...calipers.shtml Don't know these guys just giving you an example

I sent mine to a shop for powder coating and they came out great. I ordered stickers on eBay and then added a layer of clear coat to preserve the stickers (that actually didn't work well, two of them are already distorted ). I also got a rebuild kit on eBay and it's working fine.

I think stencils for the PORSCHE lettering are the best way to go, even though it's more difficult.

Thanks for the responses, guys. I've read all the zillion threads about painting them, etc. I realize now that I inadvertently said "painting" in my post, but I am really interested in a full strip-down and powder coat. I've found companies online that offer that of course, but was hoping someone knew of a local option so that I could avoid shipping off calipers and being without the car for so long.

There are loads of little shops in the industrial areas around San Diego that can do this - this must be true for Dallas as well. I did a Google search and saw lots of results. You may not find a Porsche-specific shop, but as long as you can supply the rebuild kit, a caliper is a caliper.

Couldn't agree more. You add "Porsche" to the mix and suddenly you're paying quadruple.

If you can't find someone local, you may want to contact goldline brakes in Seattle. They have done 911 SC and 914 calipers for me. I'm not sure about the newer models but he's a good guy, small operation, good communication, etc.

Thanks for the info. That's what I was hoping to hear...names of places where people actually had a good experience getting this done. Thanks!

I've had some Brembo's powdercoated quite awhile ago but depending on their powdercoat methods, the good ones will play it safe and remove the piston dust shields and or inspect it and replace it if they are worn already(via multiple extreme heat cycles aka track duties). I say "depending on their methods" as some powder coaters uses higher heat and duration during the curing time than others. This is where some customers powdercoating wheels could sacrifice their wheel strength if powdercoater goes aggressive with the heat/duration times as this could affect metalurgy of forged wheels especially. Make sure you pick a powdercoater that has done automotive wheels/calipers before. Some around me only do industrial equipment or tools for big box stores like Home Depot and aren't bound to the same constraints as doing certain automotive parts.
