I have a base '99. I think I was reading in the Bently Service Manual that only the Boxster S came painted red.
Seems I should paint my calipers black, or keep them silver?
My car is silver.

Any idea what color I should paint mine? Car is Guards Red with a black top. I want something that people will notice and something that matches the colors of the car. But I feel like everyone does red. Any suggestions?

White and Red always go well together . Use the VHT though, it drive faster and sprays on better. I topped mine off over the decal with a clear engine paint...the gloss looks awesome.
