Ok... So lizard green it is. Anyone know where to buy lizard green in a rattle can? if Im going to screw this up, im going to SCREW it up.
just get them either painted or powdercoated professionally if you are going to do it. I.m a retiredd professional powdercoater who specialized in brake calipers. In fact, the pink ones above are on my wife's cayenne. I coated over 3000 sets of calipers in the 14 years I was in business. Got lots of ones in that were painted with G2 or spray paint. It never lasts long.
Ask your powdercoater about Shocker Yellow over Silver Metallic if you want something that pops.
For my GT3, I'm sticking with the factory yellow, for now.
Powder coating likely won’t withstand the high heat
I've got a few customers who kept their cars long term. Aside from heavy track use, they hold up just fine for years. I offered an unconditional lifetime warranty (and still honor it for my previous customers, even though I retired), and never had a set come back because the coating failed or faded.

Im no expert but if you want to DIY then there is high temp paint our there you can brush on instead of spray. I did my 993 10 years ago and its held up really well. if I remember right it was a whole caliper painting kit and there were like 10 colors.
prep is the key and the then the 3-4 coats of brushed paint came out very smooth.
Was there a point where they stopped with the painted calipers on base cars? I recently bought a 2013 base C2 and it has red calipers. I assumed it was factory since there was no other modifications to the car.
Here is a pic of my base Carrera calipers painted red. I just like the way they contrast with my platinum wheels. Also, the standard caliper finish on the base car looks really crappy after some miles while the painted reds hold up very well.
