Caliper painting

[jonny thompson]

Whats best to use for painting the brake calipers, and who has the best range of colours?

Can use high temp paint from Halfords or E-Tech sell kits which include the paint, brake caliper cleaner and brush. Have a look on ebay mate

I think a lot of the guys on here got their paint off ebay, couldn't tell you what brand etc. though.

I want to do mine, but I don't wanna use black cause you won't notice, shouldn't use anthracite cause my wheels are anthracite.. So j was thinking a more stand out-able colour.. Was thinking like a Matte orange maybe? Don't want red or yellow chase they are abit too bright for my colour scheme.. Any Ideas?

 

[Courtney]

Red is too bright but you want orange? Haha. My red ones are less in your face than orange!!

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Orange is in the middle on of red and yellow, which both are too in your face for what I want.. Look at twingogeekeo's calipers, not nearly as in your face as red would be

If our moggy carries on fetching live mice and voles into the house and letting then loose at 4am, I'll let you have a dead cat to use :lol:
