What colour...

[kiza1986]

....should i paint my calipers??? My cars dark blue and ive opted for hyperblack alloys with a chrome lip!! I'd like something that will kinda stand out and like the hammerite hammered effect!!

But....what colour??? i was thinking gold or copper as silver is too popular.... any other ideas???

gold looks good on the screen, not sure how it would look on the calipers tho...

[kiza1986]

I'm just guessing here, but maybe use this:



followed by metallic spray paint, followed by heat proof lacquer, and hey presto, pink callipers

dreading teething n these sleepless nights all worth it in the end though
