yawn. Calipers
« on: 18 September 2010, 20:14 »
Going to strap clean and paint my brake calipers tomorrow but not sure what colour they should be.

It's an 87 8 valve. I'm assuming they would have either been silver or that wishy washy gold colour? Or black?

Basically what colour can i paint my calipers so they'll look stock

Mine arnt painted, just brand spanking new  :smug:

But silver does look really good i rekon, or paint them black if dont want them noticed. I should put something on mine to protect them going a crappy colour.

Everyone knows that, hence why they are red. I like the idea of black though with some gold coloured disks

Black FTW.  Not stock, but not flashy.  Only noticeable to those in the know  :wink:
