    Acid green (porsche/subaru) Caliper paint

    Hey guys, i need to do brakes/rotors and while im in there i want to paint the calipers. Issue is I cant find this paint color in the US thats not $300. I was wondering if any one could toss me a lead!

    Also, for doing the rears I know you need to plug into the system. Should I get obd11 or a vagcom system?

    Thanks for all the help!

    Not in US but they have US pricing so I assume they ship.

    I figure it is rare as a paint because isn't it powdercoating on the Porsche?

    Get them powder coated.

    They will look like crap inside of 3 months due to the heat of the brakes. No can paint will withstand the heat. Do not care what the marketing guys came up with ad wise on the can.

    Might cost you $200 and three days of sit time - but they will last - look OEM, not "rattle-can" - as they were done correctly.

    I think youd be surprised..... You know people "paint" motorcycle exhaust pipes, right?
