Calipers?

[mullen]

Thinking of painting my calipers tomorrow? got a tin of smooth red hammerite.

Should I do them or not - or will they look stupid in red?

Its going on a Titanium 182 with silver wheels btw

I wouldn't to them red at all. It's not like the standard calipers are massive brembo's etc.
I'd do them either silver or black instead.

Gonna do mine tomorrow aswell(if the weather is ok:dapprove: ). Went for silver in the end cos i thought it would go well with the titanium.

Mine are black, keeps them tidy, red is too in your face but it dpends what you wan I guess, each to their own.

Iv got red on a black car...

 

[mullen]

Not sure now going to do them when I get the coilovers

I did mine last year. First car so was good fun and easy to do. Plus whilst the calipers are drying gives you plenty of time to deep clean the alloys

 

[gregwilliams333]

mine are white on flamer

 

[mullen]

My Wheels are going matt Black so might just do them in silver or matt black same as my alloys

I've been considering doing mine today, was thinking of doing them Gold..? But not sure, i don't want them to look like a cheap boy racer mod...?

i did a previous cars calipers with a factory bronze finish - hammerite gold and silver mixed until the shade was perfect

looked better than factory but not obvious, never took any pics though?

I'd paint them either black or silver.

avoid red unless they are aftermarket otherwise it'll look a little chav.

body colour always looks tidy by the way i've got the compbrake 4 pots on mine in capsicum red

 

[Fletcher]

On a different note... How are you finding the compbrake 4 pots A13EX F TROPHY No70?

I'd go with silver, seeing as your refurbing the wheels black!
