Default Caliper paint help

I have new 993 calipers that I want to paint yellow. Does anyone have the "correct" color code? or a code that is close to the yellow on KW V3 coil-overs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rudy do you have a vendor you use for something like that or did you paint them?

Hey Rudy, your calipers look to be powder coated; are they? Or, are you using the VHT heat resistent caliper paint?

How about some details, my brother?

There's a shop here local to me that's been painting my calipers, sport seats, turbo S ducts and the S emblems for 5 years

Rennline sells the VHT paint. The yellow is reportedly a great match. I recently ordered a few cans myself for a respray project on my brakes. Rennline also carries the Porsche stencils, though you won't find them on their website. I'm told that Duplicolor recently acquired VHT, and that both caliper paints will be one and the same soon.

FWIW, if going the DIY route, I've used the G2 caliper paint kit after discussing with Darin/FD. Slapped on some Porsche stencils and hit it with VHT clear coat to finish (though not necessary per G2). Over 1.5 years later, albeit less than 1,000 miles , the finish is still pristine

Would not one post with pictures would be sufficient?
