Painting Calipers - **NOW DONE ON PAGE 2**

I want to paint my paint calipers and would like red (as much as i've said i think they look a bit silly unless it's a gti or Brembo...)

Still i want red for some reason - any opinions or colour suggestions?

Car is Mercato Blue for info.

Go for it mate, be different, Blue wouldn't suit because the car is blue, white like we were saying at inters would blend in with the wheels.

Good thing is if you don't like it you can do them again

I reckon blue would look better than red, and it also has the advantage of turning your car into an R32.

Red would look good, just please don't paint them yellow or green.

As noted above, blue would look good in an R32-esque way.

White I can just see getting dirty rather quickly. If you're looking to just make them look neater, then you can't really go wrong with black.

hmmm yeah i forgot R32's had blue calipers - i do like that idea. Red may looks a bit out of place.

Blue it is i think

Yer I recon blue, although i think yellow would look good if they were with yellow coilies or something.

Black maybe...

On the strength of all the above, black, black, black! But how does he make the reflection of Polo Cup appear the right way round on the rim? Or is that just another sticker?

Failing that, is it possible to colour code them (normal base coat and a high-temp lacquer) ? I have no idea whether this can be done by the way, just asking...

I'd go red or black myself - you can't go wrong with either. I'd never colour code them to the colour of my car personally, think it would look naff.

I've had time to sleep on that comment and I think Wardy's right - I was having a bit of a Liberace moment

Black.
