Brake caliper colors

I have a seal grey 996tt and my calipers' paint seems to have chipped and been ruined by, Im guessing, bad brake bleed jobs.

I like the red calipers but am wondering if I should do some other color.

Any suggestions?

Orange , yellow?

A side note about refinishing, I have heard not to powder coat them, as it acts as an insulator for the calipers, make sure a high temp paint is used.

Seal gray here and need calipers redone. I like that orange. Of you went yellow would anyone think of posing PCCBs?

Similar question on my GT2 wheels on my turbo. I wanted GT2 caps but was steered clear suggesting it wouldn't be right.

AASuperchargedE92 is infamous around these parts
Funny, I have the exact same color 996 with black wheels and I'm having my brake calipers re-finished as we speak. What color did you go with?

I also need mine refinished. The clear is coming off on the front calipers.

Any suggestions where I can get this done?? Local Socal would be easiest but I guess mailing them out would be an option as well.

I am about to do a caliper-off cosmetic refurb (prob add SS braided lines while I'm at it). Question - simple fitting to close off the brake line and prevent fluid loss? I thought I've seen it, but can't find the thread. Thank you.
