Default .2 RS Yellow Caliper repaint to match car

i have a black .2 GT3 rs with green stripes on the wheels and green seat inserts. Car has yellow calipers- it just doesn't work IMO.

Options are to powdercoat these green and get new emblems(stickers meh) or buy green ones? I bet they are PRICEY.

Anyone done this? Whole car is black and green, it needs green calipers.

I've done this a few times. Painted and bought new. I recommend two things. Buy new calipers and have them painted, and keep originals. And paint the calipers black, not green. You have enough green. My two cents.

I don't disagree, I was worried about the green matching too.. Gloss black w silver Porsche might work just fine.

You could even do gloss black caliper with green Porsche to match your car.

I originally did these in matte green to match my stripes... but it was too much for me so I changed to gloss black with white Porsche script. Loved it so much.

Actually, my matte green calipers were hot. Just too much for me. Go with whatever is your style.

I did mine lava orange (steels that were red) because I hated the red/orange miss match.,..

I'd go green. why not - it's an RS, and it's supposed to be bold

Those matching lava calipers are great! I probably would go green on an RS as well ..

this is a good question. Different part, but I had black powder coat on my tips on a previous 911 and a track day turned them into white dust. Coating completely disappeared.
