992 GTS Red For Black Brake Swap

[Grantstown]

I upgraded my front discs and callipers to the red GTS spec. The rears were the same spec, so I had the callipers refurbished in red.

I think you’re better with refurbished rather than repainted. This way, all the seals and bleed nipple will be replaced and you’re back to as new condition and with a perfect finish.

OP if under the Porsche warranty then you're probably going to need them to be painted in the high-gloss black, otherwise a OPC could argue it's a non-spec part.

Also just for info as seems not everyone is aware:
Black = base car
Red = S/GTS/GT
Yellow = carbon ceramics
Green = E-hybrid

These are the base colours so some may prefer the 'standard' colour so people know what model they have?

As long as they are gloss you think that will be ok?

IMO, leave them as they are.

Python Green with red bits for the win. That’s how I specced my GT4. I ticked the Red belts and red 12o’clock marker options, to go with the red steels…





IMO, fun cars should be fun colours.

If looking for complete certainty then it is probably worth checking with the OPC. But it could be argued that painting a break calliper is the same as refurbing or repainting a wheel

Agree with prior post re Green/red...

My 997 is green/red calipers and that works for me:



I did order black ( no cost option ) on my 992:

Key word…..argued.

Just to add another vote for liking the red with the green.
Think I'd have added red belts & dials too just to increase the splash of colour.
