Cant decide whether i should paint them blue or just paint them black

blue vs black.. black I'd say
you can do this cheaper by using hammerite and a brush

exactly
I used red on both calipers and plenum, very good quality paint and no problems with high temperature resistance

Thanks, I cant help being chavvy think i might buy red

na fcuk it yellow lol

many say red means you want to make people think you have brembo's. I think red will look good with most colours and there is a good number of cars with red painted calipers straight out of the factory without them being brembo
MK V GTI
Leon cupra
Octavia vrs
just to name a few

you paint them whatever colour you feel m8. what a load of crap when people say when red youre trying to make them look like brembos.

That was the last thing on my mind when I painted mine red when I owned it. Red just looked fcuking awesome on it!
