Painted Callipers? Peoples Pics?

[Faxo]

Ive got a flame red 172 with gloss black 172 wheels and abit of spare time on my hands lol

Yay or nay the the painted calliper front? If i remember correctly ive a tin of blue calliper paint somewhere from my Saxo days, or is that a nooo nooo nooo?!!:rasp:

Any pics of other peoples?

 

[C.slicker]

Deffo not blue, it will look really silly. I would go for gloss black personally.

 

[DrR]

Show us pics of the car first!

 

[rs250nut]

Unless they are brembos or the like i would not bother painting the calipers. By painting the calipers you are letting everyone know you have poo brakes

 

[Vern]

my cups are painted hammerite blue and look quite good, i say if you want to paint them, paint them your not gonna loose cliosport bonus points and be hounded till the day you die if you do..

we the cliosport-borg prepare to be assimilated :rasp: lol

 

[Sy]

Mine are blue, its my car and I like them!


This is all.

 

[Gary-Lew]

I painted mine because they were showing signs of rust, i would go for black if you have gloss black wheels
My effort, used Folia-tec caliper 2 pak

 

[veaney]

i painted mine yellow and they look gash...

 

[mullen]

mines silver and I;ve got some red caliper paint in the shed hmm??

Should I???

 

[SC03OTT]

paint 'em gold

 

[HartZ]

Im going to be doing mine in the new year, yellow on a black car, should look pretty good, on a flame red 172 id go with black

 

[mullen]

how about on a silver one danni

 

[Gareth]

Silver FTW

 

[HartZ]

how about on a silver one danni

If you already have red then I think that would look spot on

 

[mullen]

Think I'm going to try it on one of them and take a pic for everyones approval lol if not them try shall go silver

 

[Charlieboy]

When dropping my car of @ GDI last saturday there was a cup there with yellow calipers and I wasn't a fan of em

 

[bmh.01]

Did mine with a hammerite blue of some kind, quite a nearish match to monaco i think.

as you can see mine look gash,

getting brembo callipers instead and painting over the back thing (not sure what it's called).

Second that. Black or nothing. You don't have performance calipers, and coloured calipers are associated with performance items.

 

[Ali]

On Flame red defo silver for std calipers. Or Black for 4 pots.

 

[Christopher]

black.

 

[Faxo]

Hmmm black seems good, can i just use hammerite as in the stuff my dad painted the gate with lol?

This is the car

 

[Middo]

gloss black, makes em look nice and new, and really subtle!

 

[JR]

Black Calipers imo but then i am biased

 

[R20 CWH]

silver for me, thats what iv got

 

[christian rea]

mine are going to be liquid yellow along with my engine cover

 

[NJ.]

red, going with the theme, could change soon though

 

[Peperami]

Go for black faxo.

 

[Day]

I normally go for Silver but there was a sale on red paint at halfords!

 

[suckmykiss]

were did u get the ap racing stickers ali?

 

[ClioPinky]

Mine..

 

[mini_nick]

Mine..

Loving those rims!

 

[cat171]

Mine on my car

:approve:

If they were just normal brakes i'd only do them in silver. I'm not a fan of lairy brake caliper colours unless the brakes are worth shouting about, ap's brembo's etc.

 

[Goders172]

Gunmetal on mine look good against the silver wheels.

Always look clean too

I only have a 1.2 but mine are painted red...just cos it isnt a 172 doesn't mean you
dont want them to look nice...mine are 100% better IMO.

 

[Brand86]

I was thinking of doing gloss black on mine, either that or silver...once I can be bothered hehe...
