I have the chrome logo/model script on my car. And I have seen the script in solid black. But is anything available in a color in between the two? I would love to have the script in anthracite or titanium. Any ideas?
Both you guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing. Great work!
Now I just need to figure out what color looks best on my rhodium silver. I want some sort of grey that compliments the silver.
THPorsche: what prep did you do prior to painting the letters? I have used automotivetouchup.com before. Good quality products.
Rhodium??? I thought you had GT Silver?
Agate Grey is a nice OEM color.
The chrome badge needs to be prepped correctly, or the new paint might chip off easily. I'm telling you, bumper plugs does an amazing job. Worth the $$$ believe me. Hassle free too.
Actually, the 991 was supposed to be available with body color script but was later nixed by Marketing Dept. objections due to branding issues. If you look at early Porsche Exclusive catalogs you'll see it. I've done it on my car and love it.

I'd love to see a pic from anyone who has done this! Sounds interesting.
Still quite visible, but more subtle. Basalt Black paint & (gloss) matching badge.

Other than a black car, it's good to have a contrasting color on the badge. A while back (no pic) I saw a GT Silver Panamera with a matching color badge and I didn't like the look. I really put a lot of time thinking about it before doing it myself.
Brad, another vote here for BumperPlugs. Eric is one of the very best vendors to the Porsche crowd. The flat black P O R S C H E from the GT3s will also look great, and not require any work/painting.
I guess you could be really ballzy, and have it painted in Guards Red, and play off the calipers and tail lights? But that's pretty "in your face". If you don't like the flat black, go gloss black.
STG991: those do look stunning on black. But I do agree it might not look as hot on other colors. Rhodium might not work so well. But these examples are helping a lot. Thanks for the effort!
Lexvan: I used BumperPlugs way back in my Boxster days when he just got started. I do trust his skills. If I can figure out which OEM grey or silver would look best I might go that route. Though I do have decent painting skills it might be worth it not to go to all the trouble. I'll have to work the dollars, too and see just how pricey it gets. Gonna be hard to slip this one by the Mrs. 😉
And no, I am not ballsy. I am looking for classy and subtle. I did a quick Plastidip test to see what black script looks like against Rhodium but felt it was too bold. Too much contrast.
I'm a detail guy and little things bug me. To be honest, one of the things that got me started on this adventure was my license plate surround. I like it to coordinate (You guys haven't mentioned what frames you have.) and with the chrome logos it made sense to go with a chrome frame. But most are cheap and ugly. I found a thin subtle one but it still looks out of place on a Porsche. Nice grey, black and carbon frames are easy to find and look decent. So the quest for a perfect "aesthetic balance" continues.
If nothing else it's nice to discuss this here with other like minded geeks. Better than watching my wife roll her eyes. 😖
