I have to admit pink for a woman driver, that would be a kick

Silver could be an idea, it is different and original... but not factory color...

Now that I think of pink, I am thinking those bright green or blue they have on the gt3... that'd be cool.

While you are at it, why don't you do like Kevin "Mr Brittney Spears" Federline and get YOUR name in Porsche font.

Im telling ya,, the pink may be a bit over the top. But the candy purple on that black would be a lot neeter than you think or even an electric blue. I wish i had a fun color... I got gold what can you do with gold?

Default 3 options

Orange like the GT3's orange... its a P car color, unique...

Yellow, which is classic, porsche has had for years on there cars and not always was PCCB, and contrast is perfection.... just DO not tell people they are PCCB then its a bad call...but if your honest and do it cause you like the contrast, realize Porsche has offered yellow brakes in the past that were not PCCB and many other big brake kits come in Yellow (must be a reason, cause it looks great!) then do it...

Finally Powder or Mexico blue... unique and depending on the car color could be cool... sorry, skipped through the thread....

All above work on white, black and any grey like variant color IMO very well....

(I went yellow, powder coat) Here is a close up and a rolling pic

I really like the yellow on your car, how much did you pay for the powder coat on those?

You can take your finger nail, or a soft wood stick, like a popsicle stick, and just lightly scrape the rest of the clear coat off. Comes off very easy and the lettering is not affected.

yes i probably could if i wanted to. i would still need to refinish them by sanding the surface and repaint with new emblems..

I guess you missed my point. <sigh>Flake off the remaining clear and
a. leave as is -flat black no heavy paint to hold in heat or
b. re shoot with clear

lettering is not affected by flaking the clear off

You only need to repaint and re letter if you are changing the color

are you speaking from experience?, because it doesnt seem like the black would be "black" enough if i just shoot some clear on it..
