    Why not paint them pink right away?

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    yes you can just find a good detailer and the car will need to be at the painter for a week,due to the Porsche logo that need's to be painted.

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    but is the result gonna be pefect??

    lets silver brakes are stand for 987..then i wanna paint it red..like the 987s one..

    will porsche do it though ??
    will they look exactly the same??

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    People on the board have changed from Black to Red, so there's no reason why you couldn't change to Yellow. I'm not sure if they had to use special heat-resistant paint. Have a search through past posts. I'm sure I've seen pictures of before and after somewhere. I'm guessing Porsche wouldn't want to do it, but... you never know.

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    but those detailers will do a good job??

    where i can see some pics of those from black to red?

    Maybe you can PM the guy that did it to see how it's lasted.

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    wow..maybe i rather spend some extra money to ask porsche to do it....

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    Ok listen to this.


    First of all, if i m not mistaken 987 boxster's calipers are not silver as you mentioned but Black.


    You can have them painted ,on owner some time ago from a 997 posted a thread with directions and foto's of calipers repaint from black to red in a brand new 997 base model.

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    i hav been thinkin to get my calipers repainted as well.. red or yellow.. but i've seen my fren did it to his car.. not porshce.. and the paint becomes bubbly and the surface of the calipers are no longer smooth.. looks bad..


    can anybody explain wats powder coating?

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    It Looks Like Paint But It Acts Like Armor
    It's tough. It looks great. And it lasts a long, long time. Powder coating is a superior finish that's found on hundreds of products you come in contact with each day. It makes products durable, attractive, and scratch-resistant, too. Powder coating is a dry finishing process. Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the products to be coated.

    The parts to be coated are electrically grounded, so that the charged particles adhere to them until melted and fused into a solid coating in a curing oven.

    The result is an attractive, durable, high-quality finish. The powder coating process itself offers another advantage -- it is environmentally friendly...virtually pollution-free!

    Unlike liquid paint, no solvents are used, so only negligible amounts of VOCs are released into the air. In addition, unused or oversprayed powder can be recovered, so any waste is minimal and can be disposed of easily and safely.

    What can I say "Google"

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    thx for the detailed response.. wat does porsche actually use to paint their brakes? will it looks the same as an original porsche brakes if i powder coat it?

    thx for the help..

    Re: changing the brake colour??

    If I recall correctly, the black calipers are anodized, the red and yellow calipers are powder coated.
