Arctic blue with painted calipers?

[Munchkin]

Has anyone got any pics of their Arctic blue 172/182s with painted calipers? if so can you please post them here :approve:

Going to do mine on sunday but can't make my mind up about colours :S

I will be fitting silver alloys - the anthracite wheels will be getting stored!

silver or liquid yellow would look cool dude........

i would go for silver mate, or re-paint them black.

a loud colour on arctic wouldn't look right imo, arctic's quite subtle.

mine are silver but got no pics sorry, they look good tho,

i thought about painting them blue...? anyone got a good pic that someone could photoshop with a few colours(dont know how easy that is :S)? help us both out

If I could get a blue close to the arctic blue then I was tempted but I don't think Hammerite will do that many shades

Bright red - a bit 80's with dark blue
Yellow - not sure - need to see pics with arctic blue
Silver and Black are safer bets?

 

[Munchkin]

What about a Gold colour!?!

 

[davejm123]

what colours are there to choose from? there a website about? or is it just any heat resistant paint?

 

[davejm123]

they all seem to be about £20 ish. any cheaper stuff about?

Here are the colours they do Hammerite in - http://www.hammerite.com/uk/products/ps_dtr_metal_paint_colours.html

only about £5 per tin and does the job fine

lovely. cheers

does it come up gloss by the way?

 

[Munchkin]

Yes shiney - but you need to clean them regularly to keep them that way

Anyone done their calipers with Hammerite Gold please post your pics here please!!!!!!!!!!!!
