Where to get my calipers painted red?

[davemiddleton]

As I will be on a 2 week business trip it may give me time to remove and send my calipers to a reputable company to paint them red and stencil with "Porsche".
Can anyone recommend the best pace please?

iirc 9m does this..

Tho it is rather 'cheating' to paint red the non-big reds..

Unless of course they ARE Reds... which just need touching up

We offer this service for any Porsche caliper, £125+VAT per pair, additional work like replacing the seals or slide plates is excluded, this is just the painting.

Colin,
Thanks for reply. Can you advise please the MAXIMUM time to turn these round from when you get them.
I am away in about 3 weeks for a 10 day business trip. I would have my work's mechanic remove the calipers the day I leave and depending on your response, get him to refit them ready for my return.

Regarding me "cheating" by painting them red, I do not understand the comment!! I have a fixed rear spoiler on my C4, yet I do not believe that, because the TT also has this, that I am cheating with that.
I also happen to like red calipers having had them on previous cars (Lancer EVO 5 for example). Did not realise that Porsche had the patent on Red calipers!!

I suppose it is because big reds were a larger and more expensive caliper - like an M3 is a larger(bhp wise) and more expensive 316i... and we ridicule people who put M3 badges on 316 boot lids

I don't think it really matters Dave, in all honesty. Scottster painted up his 968CS AP big brakes in yellow to match his car - and big yellows are even posier than big reds.

At least you are getting Colin to do the job properly - Halfords sell caliper paint for the boy racer crew to have red-calipered Corsas. I saw yellow painted DRUMS on a civic the other day, and nearly had a hernia laughing
