Description of rebuild process :
I treat every pair of calipers with the same care and attention. I
believe that an attractive finish is just as important as using new
seals, the correct assembly paste, and a meticulous rebuilding process.All components are fully stripped and carefully inspected.
The caliper housings are thoroughly degreased, cleaned, and shot-blasted to bare metal using fine glass bead media.All piston bores and seal grooves are checked and cleaned, and all threads are re-tapped to ensure perfect assembly.Two layers of corrosion-protection epoxy primer are applied, followed by three coats of the correct Porsche Guard Red paint.In
the meantime, all pistons are inspected. If there is any sign of wear
or corrosion, the piston is replaced. Otherwise, they are ultrasonic cleaned and
carefully polished.
The crossover pipes — often overlooked during rebuilds — are meticulously
inspected, particularly beneath the rubber bumper where corrosion
typically begins. If any corrosion is found, the pipe is replaced;
otherwise, it is stripped, cleaned, and treated with a special high-zinc
anti-corrosion primer.
A new set of rubber seals and bleed screws is fitted.After assembly, the calipers are left to rest for one week to allow the curing process to complete fully.
Once fully cured, they are coated with two layers of a special-grade
high-temperature ceramic coating. This significantly improves resistance
to brake dust and road debris while making them exceptionally easy to
clean. In most cases, wiping with a microfibre cloth is enough to
restore a like-new appearance.
Please note: they are not cheaply done and powder coated that is a wrong way of doing them
Why powder coating calipers is a wrong idea !
Heat Trapping:
Calipers act as heat sinks to dissipate heat from the braking system.
The thick layer of powder coating acts as an insulator, "encapsulating"
the caliper and trapping heat, which can lead to reduced braking
efficiency or fluid overheating in high-performance scenarios.
Annealing (Softening) the Aluminum: Aluminium
alloy calipers are often heat-treated for strength. The high
temperatures required for powder coating (around 200°C) can
sometimes approach or exceed the levels where aluminium begins to
"soften" or anneal, potentially compromising the structural integrity of
the part
Destruction of Factory Protection:
The process often requires sandblasting to remove old coating, which
can strip away the original anti-corrosion treatments and damage the
surface of the softer aluminium, increasing its susceptibility to
corrosion.
