Not sure now, after kinda knowing due to having the paint, about my brake calipers being blue.
That was always the plan for some reason, but now Im not sure, Im thinking either bright yellow or black.

Thoughts?

Oh and FYI, new wheels on, calipers will be seen, and new wheels are painted Cossack grey

Moonstone

Yellow FTW.

On your car, silver. It's pretty oem, and I don't think lairy brakes would suit it.

zinc plated, usually silver, not shiny.

This.

Will look silly, do them black.

Who'd paint their brakes yellow? How chavvy! Lololol

yellow

I would do them moonstone BUT cant find caliper paint in a similar colour

Just use normal Moonstone.

Wont it just melt off?!

No. Might not last as long as VHT if you cook the brakes at every opportunity, but it's a road car. How many people use Hammerite without issue?

As Curt says, it's a light car and while the brakes get hot they never get hot enough to melt paint off!

On my old Cabriolet I had 206 GTi180 calipers and they were painted china blue

Plaaaaaan!!!

Black. OEM+ all the way.

Coloured calipers rarely work IMO and look tacky; very few cars can pull it off, moonstone definitely cant

Gold ftw!

Ooo I used to paint them gold back in my Ford days...

Not sure gold will go well with the moonstone.

Im thinking either black yellow or moostone

Doing mine gold on the Moonstone, choose another colour Piggy.

Done the ones on the China gold, they're not as big as Nialls though.

Gold is a factory colour along with silver, so it's pretty subtle.

haha....love it...well moostone, moonshine...manstain...we all know what it is!!!

I think I will see how it all looks with new wheels then maybe ask for some photoshoppers if thats ok

I've had quite a few colour variations over the years...

Red on my black XS -


Gold on me ol' China -


China on my China Cab -


I think they need to have a slight contrast to be honest. Definitely never paint drum brakes though, that's frowned upon

Yellow would be a totally epic win

Yellow is far too lairy for a subtle car, IMO.

I would do similar colours on those cars shown....but moonstone has me stumped a little...

anyone up for a photoshop?...



(that aint my car...but best I could find)

i'm biased..

yeah but john, your car is silver!

it 'was' silver and i still think they'd look good, could do them red to match the block?

Block will be blue whenever I next strip it out...dont like the red block in the bay.

Anyone up for photoshopping that pic with some colours??

pardon the crudeness, the comp upstairs with photoshop is trashed :/
