Here's what you do -- take your calipers to your favorite powdercoating shop and let them do the bling you so desire. Next, take them to a Porsche repair shop and let them rebuild the calipers. I doubt there is a single company that can do it all for you if this is what you desire. And FWIW, if you ever track your car, that "as good as from the factory or better!" finish you so desired will be burnished -- I've seen brand new, bright red Brembos turned to a red wine color in a matter or three or four 20 minute sessions. And if they don't get burnished, it means you drove like a freakin' wimp.

P.S. Never heard of Goldline -- are they known for having a great reputation in the P-car community?
No seriously dave how do you feel about this? But in any case you are correct. A good steam cleaning should make them “golden”
