one got chipped. want to buy a touch-up paint to fix it. which one to go?

since the temp on the caliper is really high, is it the normal touch-up paint gonna work?

 

check e-bay they have some brake caliper kits for porsche on sale for around $50.

 

g2 caliper paint system g2usa.com

 

that g2 stuff doesnt match brembo red though!! (thats what I was told)

 

call brembo!!!!!!!!!!! they should help you!!

I did that!! They do not sell any touch up paint!!
Here is a transcript of the e-mail they sent (in reply to a query on the Brembo web ste - obviously they forwarded it to someone else or something....) me before I called: "Manosur,

We do not have the original Brembo touch up paint. I would like to refer you
to Brembo's customer service department at 1-800-325-3994. If they do not
have touch up available, we do offer the G2 caliper paint, however the shade
may be slightly different.

If you have any other questions or need to place an order, please feel free
to contact me. If you are placing an order online, please be sure
to reference my name, so that I can watch over the order as it
processes.

thanks guys. i know the Porsche guards red match pretty good, but i don't know how it'd stand the heat.

 

i got mine touched up at a local body shop. I believe they used some process called "bead shooting". They match perfectly and and no signs of peeling or flaking after 700mi.

 

Cris Y. how much did it cost

 

I believe it was around $150 to touch up a single caliper. I'm not 100% sure since some other work was done at the same time. Someone had vandalized my front fender at the hospital..

 

Msindi,
i can feel ur pain since u got those huuuuge 15" brembo right?
$150 maybe worth for u

Chris Y,
may i ask u which bodyshop u went in LA?

 

20C4S...

Actually, the work was done when the car was in still in Hawaii. In LA, the only body work I had done was on my S500 and that was at Fletcher Jones.
