Ive got my calipers out of the box today, cannot decide what colour to paint them them. They are going on my P100 with a 3 dr front end, calipers are std cossie 4 pots up front and 4x4 on the rear. I dont want it to look chavy. Car is going moonstone and probably going for gold Comps MO's.

May be you could show me what you have

IMO unless theyre some massive 20pot calipers then black is the way forward.

I would go for silver, I think it would look good because they won't stand out too much.

Here's a picture of my silver calipers

I painted my calipers silver and painted the hub part of the disc black.I hate seeing a nice set of wheels on a car and you look through the wheel and all you can see is rusty brakes xx

Thanks for all the comments and pic. Whats the goldy colour they come as std? Is it some kind of zinc coating?

YOREVOL

the gold is a zinc coating but it doesnt last long. i agree with some of the above ethnic is the best option.

Very nice

I've always thought if they are standard brakes then keep them a factory looking silver. I personally think coloured calipers just look tacky. On AP's, Brembos etc then I think colours work

silver/grey.
i painted my brembos with simoniz steel colour wheel paint, they're subtle behind my silver alloys.

My brembos are yellow at the moment ( thanks to the previous bell end owner lol ) but are going back to the correct red ASAP

Looks like black it the colour of choice. What about taking a leaf out of katie Price's book and paint them pink!

stu170

I actually painted mine baby pink for a bet. about a year ago. and they are still that colour. Black wheels and grey st170. doesn't actually look too bad lol
