Default Brake caliper color of the 918, what do you think?

Just finished this set of calipers, in consistent with the 918 colors this is our first example done.

It was very difficult to photograph as the colors are very light compared to the actual finish in person but this was the best of around 15-shots.

Thanks for your feedback.

What color formula did you used to copy the hue 'Acid Green'? In your photo, the color appears more of 'Chartreuse'.

We did a color match based on the actual color example, it was not by color code, unfortunately we purchased quite a few colors by code that were not a match, we decided to finally use an example caliper and have it digitally color matched.

In person it looks much better, it's difficult to photograph. I'll post an other photo once it's on the Porsche, I'm certain it will photo much better.

When I put a Birch Green (253) chip off the old bumper of 00040 next to a 918 caliper, they looked awfully close.

Thanks and the windows are pretty standard however there are many with black-out packages without that finish.
