Opinions on Brembo Colour Please !!!!!!
i'm going to re-paint my tired looking brembo calipers and would like some opinions on colour.
i have just painted the side wall of my discs as they always look rusty to black and was thinking of going for something a bit off the wall
like green or
blue.
here's the car.
and the wheels.
Opinions Please
oh and before anyone says lower it, i am on friday afternoon all new suspension, arbs and drop links going on the a prodrive geom set up.

i'm liking the sound of that would really stand out.
yellow a bit much for me although i think under the black would look quite good.

I used yellow hammerite spray paint. I think the they look a bit brushed because of the texture on the caliper.
Here is an old photo of my Brembo's painted yellow. Look a bit scabby because they sat for 18 months!

I took my brembo's off when i bought the 2 pots for the rear, painted them all at the same time. I went for yellow as the Brembo's were already yellow.
