Have just fitted Subaru 4-pots, and cleaned them up before fitting, so may just paint them to make them look nice
They are currently silver(ish) with white subaru letters. I have a metallic green car, and silver standard rims.
Any ideas/pictures?

Hammerite Smooth, £5 a tin. Clean the calipers, with brake cleaner and a wire brush, then apply two coats. Job done.

Thumbs up

I did mine with hammerite smooth as well. Black as standard but on a red scoob with gold alloys thought any other colour might be pushing the bounds of taste a little Looks better with the shiny finish I think the standard ones seem to always look grubby & dull.

The SUBARU lettering is shiny & smooth you can wipe it clean after painting the rest of the caliper! - Worth doing IMHO
