How big a deal do you think it is to change some colors on these special RS's?

I'd like to paint the calipers on my 991RS Mexico Blue to match the car and paint the wheels white on white 997.2RS which are currently red.

Do you see this as blasphemy and value killing or no big deal, do what makes me happy and if it looks good alls well?

Calipers and wheels are bolt-ons and can easily be replaced or repainted in the future (if desired). Different if you wanted to paint the chassis (in which case wrap might be preferable).

^ +1 - I stick to reversible things unless it is a project car, in which case I go nuts.

John Hayworth. Hayworth racing brakes does outstanding work on calipers. He can take care of you.
