Wanna do mine at the weekend as I am stripping down the calipers for a good greasing! Might as well put a lick of paint on them too.

Thinking Silver, or Red at the mo. Green maybe for some reason as well!?!

Also, if anyone has some product recommendations....

Thanks

No i didnt use that guide, i just used the Jack out the boot, Jacked each corner up one at a time, paint only took 15 min to dry enough that I could pop wheels back on.

Give you wheels a clean while the paint drys thats what i did -

^^ Good plan that man! Might be chancing it though as I am going to deseize and grease my caliper sliders at the same time (offside one of them has seized on me!), turbo wheel swap ftw! lol

I have searched hence some of the results already quoted or did you not bother reading first!

Stop spamming my spam thread!! ;)
 
Anymore pics, suggestions. Found some bright orange ones on a 182 but I ain't got the minerals for that lol
 
Mine are silver with anthracitre turinis, looks good having a bright colour againest the dark wheels

What colour are your wheels?

True, but also no point doing it if they're not gonna stand out. Also, they work much better in any colour with multispokes like yours than for example on the standard 172 five spokes.
 
These are my old cup's red examples:

....and if anyone wants to try some photoshopping for me.......... ;)

I no its not on a clio, i did yellow to start off with and it looked good for about 10 seconds. so when i upgraded the brakes i did them red.

Can someone PS me red and green with this pic?

Thnking green to go with the, just visible, green stuff pads?

Hammerite Smooth red is winning for me now, can always repaint if not happy tbh!

Yeah, silver is defo out as there would be way to much silver then and cleaning as said!!

Gonna buy Red and Black then decide on the mood i'm in on Sunday, lol

Once smoothed and painted would be easy to change anyway.

Still think this is the best idea though....
