Caliper paint

[markclio]

What has every body used??

 

[Mr R.]

Hammerite smooth.

 

[Chrisgti6]

Silver hammerite spray (no, I haven't painted the disc! It's a new one!)

 

[cat171]

Hammerite smooth.

Same.
In black, with a brush. I still need to do my rear ones as I had them refurbed last year & they're back to silver.

 

[markclio]

i'v just put new wheels on and my calipers are red, think they need to go a different colour as looking to chavzilla

 

[cat171]

Yeah, they look bad in red. They're not Brembo's etc, so don't advertise them.

 

[markclio]

LOL Who said i was advertising Brembo ... asking for peoples opinion on what colour should they be

God, give me strength.
Re read what I wrote.

Anyway, do them black or silver.

 

[Cub.]

Black or silver.

 

[Mr Plums]

Silver, nice clean and subtle.

Hammerite Smooth silver. I bet we could buy one small pot of it and send it around every member of this forum and return back with product left over. I bought one thinking no way am I going to have enough. Painted all 4 brakes with 2 nice, thick coats and it's used barely any of the tin.

 

[Mr Plums]

When I get round to changing the brakes I think I'm going to sand back the calipers and spray them, the finish looks so much better.

Silver it is , they will look good through my new wheels, that i am still not sold on.. :down:

Swap you for my 182's

 

[Goodj]

Black

I'm guessing they'll end up black.

 

[markclio]

@dann2707

already have my newly refurbed black ones...

I just think my old ones fill my arches better...

 

[Mr Plums]

I doubt it, im sure turinis have a wider offset, although i think theres a few variations.

Spray or brush in your guys opinions? Spray seems very messy, but brush leaves brush marks

 

[warwickstingray]

Mine were blue. The previous owners choice. After a few track days they aren't very blue any more. The blue didn't look particularly awesome.

I sprayed mine, but only because they were off the car at the time.

 

[Ethan1996]

Hmm unsure then! Might remove them from the disc, but not the car.

 

[KitsonRis]

I need to paint mine to make it look smart. Was just going to brush black Hammerite them. I wouldn't go silver as surely they would end up covered in brake dust and then look crap again??

 

[Ethan1996]

They're silver as standard so I can get away with a really light coating, they look fine just a little aged/faded and wanna get them perfect again.
