This link was the only merchant that I found through a quick Google search myself I wanted to see if you found another place. The rebuild kit cost as much as a new caliper.

I suppose next I will call brembo and see if I can get an answer If not I'll move ahead with baking them with the boots in

I was able to find kits on rockauto too.

I saw in the G8 forums a guy was able to call brembo USA and was given all the part numbers. Calling may be a good idea.

I bet those seals are impossible to remove non-destructively. Interesting predicament, for sure.

I would remove any rubber part from the assembly before doing any paint job to avoid vulcanization of the rubber parts. Also, I would recommend a good wet paint (primer, base and clear) that is less prone for chipping and other related failures instead of powder coating. Being aluminum caliper, it is pretty straightforward for painting.

I agree use paint. I have had good luck with POR15 caliper paint. I put on an insane amount of coats with a brush and the paint levels well and looks like it was coated. Not as good as coated but close. Then I ceramic coated them before I put them on the car.
