Painted wheels - how about centercaps?

Fellas,

Quick question for everyone here- just got my 997.1 OEM GT3 wheels painted red (similar to that seen on some GT3 RS's); what should be done with the OEM silver w/black lettering center caps? Should those be painted red too? Or would the OEM center caps with colored crests be better?

Thanks for the help-

Yes, you need to paint them red with black letters. They should do a 2 stage process on the center caps. Paint them all black first and then tape off the "GT3" and paint them red. Here are some pics of how mine came out.

Thanks! That looks awesome- I'll refer the shop to your response- hopefully they can reproduce your center caps!

I had it done at the dealership, Porsche of the main line in Philly. I had it done before I picked the car up after purchasing. Not sure if they outsourced it.
