What colour for my calipers ?

[massbad69 10]

Second piece of advice for tonight please.

 

I have a Storm Grey VR6 and I have bought new calipers and carriers so now need to paint them.

 

Usually I would go with red calipers but I was thinking blue for a change?

 

What do you think ?

Did mine recently in light gloss grey.

They won't go rusty, keep themselves clean, and look almost original (they don't scream at you that they've been painted- so probably not what you had in mind).

Thanks but your right I want them to stand out a bit, I always go red even my mk7 GTD is getting them red soon but fancy a change against the grey car.

In fact this is exactly what I used. It's beautiful stuff.

Far better than any proper caliper paint I've used in the past.

I actually bought it to paint my engine block during the rebuild earlier this year. A little tin goes a long way.

Thanks if I choose black I will use that paint :dance:

Asbo red

I wouldn't bother with fancy paints - I've used Smooth Rite for years and never had a problem

I'd say either red, shiny black or matt silver, with a preference for silver. Keep it classic imho. But if you do want it showing throuhg then red.

Thanks everyone.

 

I'm going to end up heading for red as usual :bonk:

 

I thought the blue would look cool as I had googled grey cars with blue calipers and they looked decent IMO

Going black with the supplier above ^

 

Thanks for the help
