Best Colour Brake Calipers?

[woody_159_2000]

I am looking to paint the brake calipers on my ph-1 172...its titanium silver with standard OZ racing alloys, and was wondering what the best colour for the calipers would be?

pics would be very handy...thanks for any help!

ok so blue seems popular! anyone with a pic of blue please?

the red look good too, especially with the anthracite, but my alloys are standard silver.

Blue would look fairly sweet.
The guy who had mine before painted them red, which looks a bit too much on a black car I think. Going to do 'em black soon to fit in with the stealth look...

Same colour of car in my opinion, if you have nice alloys .

I always think that red is a good color but im a fan of matching to the bodywork n all!

BLACK.

yep , either black or silver.

I don't see why some with non branded brakes do thier calipers bright red tbh, why make them stand out ?? Are they something of importance or special like ap's or brembo's - no !

The other one rear drums which people paint up in a bright colour - why do it ?? Drums look gash.

Yep, def looks ace. Might have to get the alloys powdercoated darker on mine tho. Cheers for that

Rusty/grubby OE or black

silver ftw

Love the wheels, making a start on refurbing my turinis at the weekend to become anthracite, hope they look as good as this when i'm done

I was thinking of doing my calipers yellow but with anthracite wheels I reckon red might be better, decisions decisions....... lol

Mind you silver looks good in this pic...... :S
