I'd say black with yellow as it looks more purposeful than the red.

For me anyway, the best colour for AP calipers is red without a doubt.



The above were the AP factory black with yellow lettering, but the black finish does tarnish really badly over time.

APs traditional colour of black calipers and yellow text.

You thinking of refurbishing yours Pete?

I've always liked the idea of yellow with black text.

You guys that have painted the Ap's/Brembos, what did you use to do the lettering ofter they had been painted? was it a case of a steady hand rules or some other method?

Could turn it on its head and go OEM?

Gold APs with red detailing. Would look pretty smart if you could pull off a colour match.

I'm biased Pete and would say red and white, but it depends on whether you want subtle or in-yer-face. Are you going to get the bells anodised or powder-coated to match

black with yellow /orange/green letters that is all

you need to ditch the white rims also and go darker and stop being a pansy about it :
