i have seen people paint the crest on their centercaps, im planning on stripping mine, and painting the gold, black and red on the crest then putting a clearcoat over them, what brand paint / exact colors have you guys used for this?

not that anyone cares but i just got my wheels repainted and my calipers done red and my porsche crest valve caps: <a href="http://visualresponse.org/misc/pictures/dansporsche/exterior6_6-24-2002.JPG" target="_blank">http://visualresponse.org/misc/pictures/dansporsche/exterior6_6-24-2002.JPG</a>

oh and, on sunday you can see them in person have fun!

nice calipers btw.. mine are ugly.. (considering we have the lame small kind)

 

now i have a reason to come! haha, if you stripped and painted the lug nuts would that be bad?

 

i dont see why it would be bad...
the repaint you do might not last forever but hell, what does? you want to make them the same color as your wheels huh? its a cool idea.. try it.. i think i have some spare lugs from Jeremy when he gave me his box of 944 goodies so if you ruin a set i can give you those

 

im not sure, id like to paint them all the same color as the wheels so they blend in, but then i will have that one with the black plastic cap and it will stand out even more, maybe if i made them all black

 

paint that one too... the locking lugnut... why not? just dont get any spraypaint inside the lock!

 

operator, im probibly going to be there on sunday (that is if i wake up on time, im not much of a morning guy) anyway if im there is like to see how your caps came out in person... assuming im there and i see you, whats your name? how old are you?

 

yo. i hear you on the morning thing.. and i live in connecticut so i have to wake up that much earlier.. but im gonna try to be there butt-early.

my name is Simon, im 21, and I have a Stone Gray Metallic 944S (i doubt there are going to be any other S's there) .. oh and I will probably be with my friend Dave and his 2002 RSX

it might rain i hear... bring a jacket or a snowsuit or something (freakin cold *** long island). i hope you aren't coming just to see the caps! theres other cool Porsches and.. cones and stuff!

 

i dont see any rain in the weather report, but if it does rain i definately wont be there.... or atleast not with my porsche. last time i drove it in the rain i ended up sliding sideways across 3 lanes (that actually happened like a block away from where the autox is being held)

 

oh good, only a 10% chance of rain..
i havent checked the weather since last weekend when it said 40%

dont even remind me about sliding in rain... thats how i lost my quarter panel but i figured.. drive slow to the autocross and then have fun spinning on the 'course' its a good way to learn how to control your beast in the wet.. oh well.. better to just go slow!
