PIC REQUEST: RB 182 Painted Brake Callipers

[Schweppy]

Want to paint the brake callipers on my racing blue 182 but not sure what colour to do them!!!

So any pics would be great ......

 

[makavelli]

have had mine yellow for the last year or so, the only problem is loads of people have done their racing blues yellow as well

did mine yellow to match the side badges and liquid yellow dash inserts

silver! any other colour looks a bit tacky imo unless there 4 pots or something!

heres mine:

 

[makavelli]

silver looks gash on racing blues though fella

for racing blue you want either black yellow or white imo

 

[Revels]

As long as you dont do red then its all gravy.

 

[Dean]

just my opinion! i can see what your saying with the racing blue colour but im just not that keen on other colour calipers

painted my girlfriends racing blue 182 calipers silver lol

Ooooooofffff!!!! LY looks awesome. Not surprised that people are all doing the same LOL. How many coats did it take for the yellow to stand out like that???

 

[makavelli]

buy a tub of hammerite smooth for a fiver and do around 4 coats leaving an hour or so between coats and thats it job done

 

[Schweppy]

Awesome!!! Cheers for that mate. I'm guessing you used axel stands and did it all at once or did you jack it up and do one calliper at a time???

 

[Schweppy]

This what you got?

i did the back 2 then the front 2 as i cleaned the arches and wheels and sealed/waxed the wheels between coats

edit: yep thats the stuff got it for a fiver from halfords

 

[Schweppy]

the black calipers go really well with white wheels.

Tbf Chris's car wouldn't look right with any other colour calipers. Can't have a third colour on there.

As Dean said, I wouldn't do them a bright colour as it's not like they are four pots or anything special (I even did mine black)

Pmsl @ Alan- any excuse to get a pic hey dude.
