Long story short: be it PMB, Tru6, other business entities or individuals such as Jamie, Fred and others, we are lucky to have passionate folks providing advice, expertise, services and products for our cars.

I agree. No vendor is perfect all the time and all have outside influences that challenge timing and quality.

Agreed, that is one of the secondary benefits of owning a Porsche. There’s no shortage of expertise and as an owner we are all very fortunate to have this available to us. Granted we are the customer and we are spending good money to get this work done so the businesses follow the money.

As far as my calipers, I’m fairly confident with PMB’s workmanship as I have never heard anything negative and I’ve seen some of their work. My calipers weren’t dinged/dented so the final results should be excellent and with proper care in my hands they should stay nice indefinitely. Here’s a shot of my Spyder Calipers after 11 years and 22k miles:

Amen. My anodizer was acquired last summer which meant 4 months of no anodizing until they were set up in the new shop and then 3+ months of testing, then new guys don't want to do the work so now I am using their facilities at 5AM. I used to wake up at 5 for rowing but that was over 35 years ago. Waking up at 4 now and starting the day brings so much joy. Silver lining, I'm bringing anodizing in-house.

Fun with sulphuric acid

Seems the anodizing is a massive bottleneck as I’m still waiting on my calipers. I have a local shop that gets it done in 5 - 7 business days and they do good work too.
