Couple minor cosmetic mods - pictures

Recently, I did a couple of subtle things to further black out the GTS.

I do not understand why Porsche leaves the rotors that ugly shade of primer gray and when I put the Techarts on they really stood out (in a bad way.....) so I painted them satin black. I also painted the lug bolts satin black. I used a product from POR called chassis black. I've used this product for years and whole heartedly endorse it for its durability.

Before:





After:





A few months ago I ordered a new GTS rear emblem and painted the "Cayenne" gloss black and the "GTS" gloss red.



A couple of gratuitous GTS pictures....

Yes, I used the brush on for the rotors. It lays down nicely w/o brush marks. They also make a spray that I used for the lug bolts.

No, I used Painters Touch spray paint purchased at Home Depot. The PT red is a VERY close match to guards red. I also used a PT clear coat. I have used these colors on a black 928 GTS I had a few years ago and it looked as good and was pretty durable.
