Red calipers and decent brakes

[ScouseAllan]

Hey,
Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can buy red calipers, all I seem to find is the paint which I'm not a fan of.

Also if you have any recommendations for me regarding the discs and brakes, Im looking to change them next weekend. I have a a6 2013 avant s line.

You can buy proper caliper paint other wise your looking at the likes of bremos, which ain't cheap.

Can I just ask why do you want to change the discs and calipers?

I think there already very good as they are.

What does the paint look like though, does it tend to flake is what I'm worried about

If done well paint does look good.

I've gone black with grey Audi Ring decals on my Daytona grey A6.

Any pics? You have a particular brand?

I'll get pics tomorrow and I just used Hammerite Black Smooth.

Decals applied a day later then I brushed some clear nail polish over them (following their outline) to help protect and secure.

I think red callipers, on a car your colour will look a little odd, as the reds won't match.

If you don't want a contrasting colour, I'd recommend going with black.

These guys here provide decentbcalliper paint

Yeah I think your right, black is the way forward. I would love to have the time an money to send them off to the brake specialist team from the link you posted. But I can't bear the thought of having to drive the missus Citroen C3 while I'm waiting for the return!
I think I'll buy the black kit off them s line decal off of eBay see how I get on.
Did you finish them off with a lacquer?

No just painted some clear nail polish on the decals.

Yeah possibly, I'll just remove and tidy them up.

Silver calipers look better in my opinion

 

[craig20102010]

I like the black caliper and I quite like the decals. I didn't think the decals would look that good. I think I'd probably paint a clear lacquer over them though rather then nail varnish lol.

I painted my S3 calipers 11 years ago with standard car paint , graphite grey and they still look good today. Done the A6 with a gloss black paint
