Use Hammerite metal paint. £3 for the tin size youll need from Halfrauds.

lol @ Ross...got some surface rust and that certainly aint gangster lol. Might paint them red then and get some brembo stickers so i can be like mr. mccardal haha

gt_gaz, when you painting them? let me know how you get on

Paint them silver or graphite. IMO think it looks tacky when you see painted calipers unless they are brembos of course.

Dont max power it you will be getting some lexus lights next.

AS above really, unless you got a big brake coversion use an understated colour

 

[Gary G]

I think the red would set the wheels and paint off a treat but may look a bit tacky :-S Thinking silver like the door badge now.

yellow looks good, how about that pale blue colour? might look ghey as your cars a similar colour, looks good on dark blue cars tho
