Some sort of a deeper wrinkle blue for the valvecover would be fine by me too. I'd rock that or one of the black colors. Great idea to send the spares down to get done! Sign me up for a switcheroo if this happens!

Sign me up too! Gold for me though. OR maybe some funky color like purple.

They should take deposits for serious buyers and get this going!

Wrinkle red should look like a Type R valvecover to be honest.

White would be nearly impossible to keep clean I think and would get dingy pretty quick...I would think anyway.

Right now I have 2 VIIIs and a IX as cores so until I get a few more it will be a little limited on return time. Doing some colormatching, unless Carlos has it already will be more but not impossible. We are an authorised reseller of his services (and he sponors one of our cars) so to get an idea of what he can and has done please visit-

It's not hard at all, I plan on doing a write-up on how to take them apart next week

Wrinkle black is a very nice color, easy to keep clean more importantly.
Really any color can be made into a wrinkle.

FWIW - there is a writeup on EvoGarage for both painting calipers and also a general howto on brakes. If either of those guides are good for you I wouldn't waste my time if I were you.
