Brake calibers refinishing - What color???
I am getting my RS calibers rebuilt by a friend of mine. He will dip them in acid, strip all the paint, bead blast them and paint+bake them.
Problem is...what color to choose!?
1. RED original RS as they were
2. 997 RS-Orange (would look good on a polar silver car)
3. Some other color?

Rennlister "Bradford" has blue calipers on his polar silver car along with blue seat belts (yes, they must match). It looks OUTSTANDING. look around for photos of his car.

I was going to say old school gold (not the modern, rapper style, bling gold) but you got gold wheel centers, right?
If yes, it's not going to be as good although it still might be pretty tight.
With silver & gold wheels, it's hard to deny red but just to be different, I'd go with gulf orange.

I am doing the same with mine...gold with red script. So for you I would say...
brown.
No Just kidding....my alternative was to go with a matte color (Gunmetal with silver script) or translucent color ovr near chrome if powder coating.
-Or red like everyone else.

Riviera or Gulf Blue. Darin Fister did that on his Polar Silver coupe and it looks stunning in person ... If I had a picture I'd post it but I don't. Maybe Darin will chime in here ...
