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

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

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

Black. OEM+ all the way.
Coloured calipers rarely work IMO and look tacky; very few cars can pull it off, moonstone definitely cant

Im thinking either black yellow or moostone

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

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

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