Paint brake calipers or not ?

[dazjenks]

My calipers are looking a little rusty was thinking either painting them black or silver ?? Or just leave them looking rusty ?

Smooth Hammerite black .

Smooth Hammerite black .

Likewise. Give them a good cleaning with a wire brush beforehand.

Clean them and paint silver .. Just oem "as new" look

 

[Gazwould]

I've never understood painting something silver that doesn't get or is hard to clean of brake dust , white or silver have to be the worst colours to highlight the brake dust .

I tend to agree with Gazwould just done my calipers in smooth black Hammerite and they look spot on

 

[Sayam]

You two think too much lol, mine are silver and just look clean and OEM rather than aftermarket black or red which looks cheap imho.

Hardly notice them anyway so silver just blends into the background behind the wheel.

Lol, your probably right but as you say you hardly notice them so I suppose it's down to individual taste on this one
