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 :cuckoo: like green or
blue.

here's the car.

black caliper red lettering :)

TingTongPJ 14 October 2009 05:50 PM

i was thinking of red maybe

think black would be too dark with black wheels.

was think they might look a bit boring though.

Aztec Performance Ltd 14 October 2009 05:57 PM

Whiteish/grey with black decals :cool:

bigdaveallan 14 October 2009 05:57 PM

How about yellow?

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.

my06 ppp silver 14 October 2009 06:51 PM

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 !!

webbo34 14 October 2009 07:06 PM

how about chrome with black or red lettering:thumb:

beef-on-the-bone 14 October 2009 09:59 PM

got to be black or red, suits your theme :)

Phil555 15 October 2009 12:25 PM

TingTongPJ 15 October 2009 06:34 PM

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

m@t STImulation 15 October 2009 07:47 PM

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!

DarrenSTI 15 October 2009 08:33 PM

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

bigdaveallan 15 October 2009 08:49 PM

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.

TingTongPJ 15 October 2009 08:51 PM

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.
