Gave the brakes a bit of colour
« on: 23 September 2010, 17:39 »
Decided I would paint the calipers red on my golf at the weekend, tornado red!
What do you think?

It was like hammerite type that we had lying around at work, have to see if it lasts.

Ive had mines all colours haha, had them black, white, yellow, red and there blue at the moment. Used Hammerite everytime and what a nightmare trying to break the paint off as the amount of colours ive done them they would end up the size of brembos! haha. Might go back to Red as the Blue aint really noticeable but im gona wait until i buy new calipers and do them while there on the factory skin!
