Hello,
I am having some lovley new Discs/Pads (TarOx Japan) fitted on Monday and I was considering painting my calipers to make everything look nice. My Scoob is a N plate which means that it has the unfinshed calipers, not the black ones with Subaru written on em. The Car is Green Mica with Gold Prodive/Speedlines So the Choice is Dont bother Black (Subtle) Red (Noticable) Blue (????) Yellow is not an option becuase its skanky Any opinions. Ps No I cant afford to upgrade the calipers to something decent (yet!) |
I went with black when I upgraded the fronts to 4 pots but then I am quite boring http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Dave, as you've already got gold (cough!), then why not take a leaf outta the new WRX STi book of finishing touches?
Gold calipers? ( http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/tongue.gif I hate gold !) |
I have gold oz`s and have painted calipers gold.

Had cr@p unfinished calipers - N plate
Now have nice Gold calipers! Car is silver so it does look nice. I reckon red with the gold and green would go... |
It's hard enough getting round to cleaning the inside edges of the wheels http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif - If you paint the calipers they'd need to get cleaned too http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Personally I would go with red, but then my car is silver with silver wheels...
Might look good with gold wheels/green paint though. Rich http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif |
well i have just changed to the MY99/00 6spokes (in gold)on my MY97 red scooby, so i painted my 4pots and rears in RED!!!
looks awesome, dead easy to paint on the car! will hi-light the subaru letters when i hav time! will do them in black. i think i had enough caliper paint left over to do the whole of the SIDC club!!! shame the pot life is only 4 hours. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif taking wheels off and fitting new + cleaning brakes (with the cleaner provied) then painting brakes didn't take long at all, about 90mins or so.

Stratman did his in Hammerite smooth(red) and it looks good and has stayed like that. £4.99 a tin. Top.

Black. No cleaning required! By the way you should have shopped around I got my 4 pots supplied and fitted for 400 from a local dealer. But anyhow Black
