Default Re-painting calipers

The weather is really bad here in Belgium so why not refresh the car a bit

I'm going to repaint the calipers but maybe I should change the yellow in...?

Red?
Silver?
Or?

Thanks for the advice!

Black would be a subtle compliment to the gray paint

I love the color of your car. It would look unique if the calipers were the same color.

Can you get a metallic caliper paint?? Probably not

Red. The yellow on them now look a bit out of place IMHO.

My first instinct was red but once I saw the color of your car with the Yellow ones you already have, I vote for yellow. I like the way it looks with your car. Red is good too but very common.

On my race car, I plan on Silver with red letters to match my accent colors. Do what you like, its your car. At least its a Porsche

With the silver accents you have on your car, I'd go for silver calipers as well. But what do I know?

Becaise of the metallic looking paint you have and silver accents your car has on the grill etc I think if you went for silver and some red or black Brembo lettering it would look tight. Silver with black like some Benzos I've seen looks really good.

I vote anything except silver, only because silver denotes C4. Yellow is nice. Sure, yellow denotes TurboS but don't bother telling me I'm being inconsistent.
