The clear coat on Porsche calipers is notorious for drying up and flaking off.

As a mater of routine maintenance on my 996, I just take some 1500 grit sandpaper to feather out the edges of where the clear has flaked off on my 996 calipers, clean the caliper really good with brake cleaner or mild solvent, and then respray the offending area with Rust-Oleum crystal clear enamel. This clear coat seems to have much better wear qualities than the OEM clear coat, and once I have sprayed an area, it never needs touch-up again.

I chose to repaint mine to red and they are holding up very well. I bought the caliper paint from Tirerack and a set of decals off of eBay. Fairly easy projects (see below.)

Here is the link to a thread on the DIY PRESS HERE
