I repainted my TT's calipers as they were peeled and faded when i bought the car. I'm all for a stock look, but like the nickel plating. Make sure to use spray paint. I used the pelican paint and wish it were smoother. It did self level, but not as much as i would have liked. You cant tell unless you are cleaning the caliper or the wheels are off. It is very glossy though.

I love yellow, but because that's reserved for PCCB's, it wasn't an option.

This is a friend's 944 Turbo. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it but it's grown on me. I think it goes well with some colors.

I love the titanium and copper/gold.

It's easy to get too much distraction going on what with wheel, trim and caliper colours. Gotta keep the whole picture in mind...

I like the uniqueness as long as it fits with the car. I sure don't understand the Italian flag colors though on a German car.

Did you figure out how to read yet? There are words to go with those pretty pictures, you know.
I know, reading is soooooo hard!

Here's a clue; no one is talking about putting Italian flag colors on a German car :rolleyes:

What do you guys think of doing something like these, but layered like the red white and green and instead with the German colors?? Tacky or no??
