Boxster S Red caliper paint

mic · Jan 20, 2009

Does anyone know if their is a heat proof touch up or aerosol available that matches the red caliper paint on an 02 S. Made the mistake of taking the car to a new local handwash car wash service at the weekend to try and get some of the salt off the car. The guys there use two pressure washers one each side of the car and looks as if the pressure was to high on one side as it has removed some of the paint from area's of both near side calipers Although guess the calipers that side may have had a few more stone chips for the high pressure water to have an affect on. Reckon with a touch up paint may at least be able to stop any more paint coming off.
Any info welcomed.

Some people swear by pressure washers. Personally I would swear at anyone using a pressure washer on my Boxster. Hope they didn't spray your intakes!
You can certainly buy pots of heat-resistant paint for brake calipers - apparently Halfords sell it and a red is available that's a very close match. But of course you may have also lost the Porsche logos.

I think there is an ebay seller who has the Porsche logos......

Thanks for the replys so far, will try Halfords.
Serves me right treating it like I treat the company Mondeo, that gets it,s twice monthly bath that way in winter, was being lazy.
Luckly the logo's are just about ok, was just hoping to get a colour match and I may just about get away with it.
