Red Calipers?

With my Option List growing, I may have to scale back to a Base C from the S.
(Lime Gold,Classic Wheels, black glass roof, expresso leather, PDK, PSE.

And now after reading about the full body film here -it has to be the way to go. (I'll be keeping it).

But I Really Love those Red Calipers!

Is there an aftermarket company that can powder coat the calipers? Love to hear feedback/ideas on this please.
Thanks Paul.

We do it quite often...

We dont powdercoat them however, we professionally paint them. Here are a few that we have recently done

Contact me for more info!

Here is a set we did in Custom Steelers Yellow on a 2012 Range Rover Sport


Another set we completed for our 2013 Audi RS5 color-matched Sepang Blue


And another set we took a Turbo S' yellow PCCB's and color-matched to Seal Grey


Here is a B8 S4 we did some Stoptech's on last week, and had them painted Lamborghini Verde Ithaca.


And an E92 M3 that we did front & rear Brembo's on color-matched in his interior - Fox Red.

I have a red interior and top on my white C2. Can you guys do color match on the roof easily?

ballsy choice of color. would only get that radical color if u were planning on leasing or holding on to car till it rusts out. it will be very hard to sell down the road. Also, u will be frowned upon by real S owners if u paint yur calipers red with a base carerra. Just some friendly advice.

I hop to see a lime gold 991 in person someday. Look pretty interesting in pictures and video. I think Porsche should offer Calipers colors as an option like other brands, and not tie to specific trim.

Porsche Conshohocken in Philly has one. Custom ordered for a client, who bailed on them after the car showed up...ouch! Its an S, with 7sp manual, beige interior and black Carrera S wheels. The dealership is very motivated to sell it...

Its a tough color to warm up to.

I personally saw one with a black interior and it looked pretty darn good. I agree it's a love it or hate it, I just happen to love it, especially with darker wheels.

I think under certain lighting and condition, it is probably stunning. I probably don't want to drive one daily, but if we all like the same color, it will be a pretty boring world. To the OP, congrats! and can't wait to see it.
