Title: Painting calipers blue aka R32, what paint would you use for best colour match?
Post by: Golf_GT_TDI on 23 April 2012, 09:57

As title really guys, looking to paint calipers blue like the R32 ones are, was there a specific paint that was used?

I am thinking of going with G2 caliper paint in blue, from looking around the net looks a decent match, what do you guys think?
