        ok if its pressed in you can spray the desired colour in 2 pack paint i.e RED on the pressed porsche logo bit then you get another colour in acrylic (single pack) in i.e black spray into the porsche logo once its dried you get buffing compound and polish off the excess black.
        then youd have mad finish porsche calipers.

          Pressed in or embossed (out)? Can't see you orignal pics anymore.

            Cheers never knew that.... I'll try it but I bought some decals just in case

            I'm pretty sure there pressed in the pictures still work for me

              Also don't do the paint to thick or it will fill up the letters just enough for a good coat

                black or silver... it's a luxury car, not a civic. lettering in black, white, or silver depending on which colour you paint the calipers.

                  Red has been done to death, it's the go to colour! I vote for yellow

                  ...but then I'm biased...

                  If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                    not a real fan of yellow or black

                    silver isnt to bad, but I wanted something which would make the wheels pop more, I still like the idea of a light green with black letters

                      I think that green would look pretty sick, probably the kind of thing I'd do

                        Go the green then

                          Green could be good, but could stick out like a sore thumb at the same time. The black lettering could really set it off though. i did blue to tie it in with the rest of my car, but I think silver on yours could be a bit dull with the car, wheels and brakes all looking the same. Don't forget that if you use a light colour you're gonna have to clean them pretty much every second day.

                                Blue always looks good.
