Caliper color?

So my calipers are a little dingy.......and I am gonna get them re-powdercoated......considering going yellow....I have always loved the look of yellow calipers but don't want to go there if people will think Im just trying to pass off having PCCB's....what do you guys think?

OK, how about powdercoating them red or yellow with the Brembo logo to be a little different? Since they are made by Brembo in the first place??????

I think you can get the Brembo Stickers from Brembo. I recall seeing them on their website. Anyone find the Porsche Script Transfers that don't burn off? I found some on flea-bay but they are on a common vinyl backing.

I just ordered some of those off ebay...but my custom shop is gonna powdercoat the calipers and then use automotive paint for the script. He will use the vinyl stickers to make a stencil, then paint it on and then shoot clear over them. He's done it before and said it will come out factory quality.....

ahhhh, got it.....interesting.....don't know if I would be comfortable straying that far from factory tho.....the big brakes on my 66 Mustang are Blue and actually look quite good on it (Red with White Shelby stripes) but on the PCar? Hmmmm, I'll probably stick to red.
