Brake Callipers ??

[cidersport133]

Hi

Just purchased a 2011 (11) Twingo 133. The wheels are being professionally refurbed, they have a few scrapes, scratches and a couple of very minor areas of 'curbing' so I want to get them 'right'. The brake calipers, however, have the normal metal/silver appearance with the usual marks which slightly detract from the overall appearance of what really is a pristine car. Therefore I'm thinking of either having the calipers 'stripped' and powder coated or purchasing a donor set of calipers which can be professionally prepared & painted before being fitted. Any advice/ideas on the best deals available for a full set of calipers would be very welcome or alternatively sourcing parts from a similar 'scrapped' car. Cheers.

Lucky yours are still silver!

Mine has a nice shade of rustyness :lol:

I don't know it powder coat will stay looking good for long. Wheels survive prety well, but the caliper is obviously much closer to the hot pad/disc.

Engine laquer or two part epoxy based caliper paint is the normal coating
