Matte Black Caliper / Drum paint

[Y7 ADW]

I'm wanting to paint my rear brake drums matte black, but I can't find anywhere that sells a matte black paint. Can anyone help me?

Many thanks

satin black halfords standard paint in a spray can and their grey primer works a treat... mine came up from rusty to a really smooth... low gloss finish.... they looked really good and lasted nearly a year till i sold the car without a breakthrough of rust.... they don't get hot really...

Does anyone consider painting callipers chavy at all? As I am tempted but not sure painting standard callipers has the same impact as getting a real pair of Brembos... what do you all think?

Not at all, I painted mine silver and dont think my car looks "chavvy" at all

Depends what colour you do them. If you're worried about it being chavvy go for silver or black.

Yep as above -Depends what colour, I always match the factory colour the best I can, just looks clean and fresh then.

Have you done yours mate? If so d you have any images? I normally like the standard look unless I upgrade the part to something better.

Not needed to do mine yet - will mix up silver and black hammerite when I do them. Have some of the old 306 kicking about somewhere.

Cool be interested to see them if you find them. Is it a big hassle taking all your wheels and stuff off though when you do them? Just seems like a big job - but then again setting up a Phohobucket account did hehe...

 

[AhmedRSi]

Heres mine...

 

[Peperami]

Lol, each wheel is 4 bolts fella... !

 

[AhmedRSi]

eh?

Hammerrite Smooth Gold and Silver on the 306

thats wat i ave got to do shud be fun

Look good Rich, suit that colour well. Think if I get it done I would do mine black, think the contrast against the silver wheels on the 172 and black pain on the body might look good.

Not a great shot of the caliper but you get the idea...

Factory colour on Pug Calipers was gold hence the paint choice. Black with a touch of silver in it would be my choice on yours.

Ive got a black Clio and painted mine red, don't think it looks chavy at all.
