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 played it safe and painted mine dark grey with white logo lol

 

paint them red :-)

 

Looks like a very good job

 

Paint them a nice bright fruity pink colour.

 

RED CALIPPER
BLACK LETTERING

 

black caliper red lettering

 

i was thinking of red maybe

think black would be too dark with black wheels.

was think they might look a bit boring though.

 

Whiteish/grey with black decals

 

How about yellow?



Front Brembos painted the same, dont have any photos at the minute.

 

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.

 

no - no - no lol. imo dont stray from your colour theme, its red and black. but if you must be subtle, the subtler the better. how about red caliper, white lettering !!

 

how about chrome with black or red lettering

 

got to be black or red, suits your theme

 

Did mine in black with white decals. Stealth look.

 

very nice
where these hand painted

 

black caliper

white or red lettering

 

i think i'm going to go with black caliper and red writing, still have my reservations it will look a bit boring.

 

the yelloy will look great like porche creamics

 

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!

What paint type is everyone using, brush or spray? spraying would need the calipers coming off though would they?

 

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.

It's quite easy to take the calipers off and paint them.

 

if i'm going with black i'm going to try painting them with hammerrite smooth paint and see how they look.

i've only recently bled them all so don't really want to be removing them again.

 

Gold is good for me....

 

keep them gold ,mine need doing also ,if not red ,black

 

Red callipers, black text....

IMHO

dunx

 

Blue all the way

 

blue looks sweet, but red looks more racey

wiley

 

pink

 

i rekon Bright illuminous GREEN would look really good and contrast the red n black theme! would look sweet
