Tatty brake calipers.

[Smidger]

My brake calipers are looking tired lads, dull and dirty, and are in some great need of a bit of TLC. At the moment funds are tight so there won't be any replacement only paint. The question is, do I paint them a subtle red or yellow or keep them silver? I do like the yellow calipers but not sure about painted ones? What do you thing guys? If any one has painted theirs please post pics

What colour is the car and wheels. Makes a difference

Have a look in my thread. My cats blue so went with silver, looks 100x better.

Black Hammerite smooth ftw , lighter silver, red , blue , yellow etc just shows up the brake dust .

I think red always looks well. I will try to attach a pic of my painted red calipers.

I'm going to do mine Black. Think will go good with blue cab and Ali rims

As above, Black looks good, although i do like the lime green as the porsche 918 on a silver car.

Black all day long for me!

Good shouts lads. See I've got the same wheels as gixer, the rs4 18"s, stock colour on a black 2.0T and the red looks sweet! Tooty fruity, I do like the lime green on the porsche but will look a bit loud on my car for me and as for the black" think they're tidy also but only with the s-line decal. Do I need a special kinda paint?

i wanted mine green like them but i did'nt dare do it, i think they would look ace with mine being black, went for silver though playing it safe.

yellow on a black car is a good choice.

 

[tony mc]

thing is, i think coz i'm 40 this year i should have more sense than painting my calipers bright green, lol

i clearly dont though, ha ha

 

[Charlie Farley]

so if one is 50 and a bit then, does that mean painting calipers is a non starter all together then tony......lol
