Caliper paint-which colour for my wheels?

[Mattsclio!]

Red or Glossy black? (like the wheels)

 

[dannyboy86]

You cant go wrong with red mate.

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

black or silver

 

[Scott]

Red.

 

[Mattsclio!]

also is hammermite smooth heat proof?

 

[Adam_C]

Think red would look really good, just not sure if it would suit the clio's small brakes if you get what I mean? With bigger brakes I would defo say go for the red!

New wheels look wicked though Matt and suit the car really well.

yeh cos i have alreay painted the drums glossy black, and red can sometimes look tacky unless uve had brake conversion etc so might just go glossy black,same as drums

 

[Ali]

Silver.

 

[Adam_C]

Yeah, saw you'd done the drums in your other pics and they look good mate. Up to you at the end of the day though, would be interesting to see how they both looked

 

[Mattsclio!]

i could do one in red and one in black and show pic? lol then jus paint over the one which dont look as good lol

 

[CH33MA]

I say silver, always looks gd, if not definatley go for the glossy black, red looks crap on small brakes.

Take a look here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=135908

I prep'd mine by giving them a good wire brushing over first, then another wash after that. Two coats of hammerite smooth later and the jobs done. I did find that the Hammerite paint dries quickly and even starts binding the brush bristles together, had to wash the brush after each coat.
