painting calipers
« on: 12 July 2006, 14:52 »
I want to paint the calipers on my Mk3 dragon green gti.

Im thinking either red, or blue..  can't decide.. im leaning towards red, but don't want it to end up looking like a christmas tree!

Help?  :undecided:

And if ya missed a previous thread on the subject you can get any colour or shade ya want by mixing Hammerite paints!

I've just got the Folio tech kit from Halfrauds for £23.99....in black as I have a Black Magic 16v......I would go silver to blend in, or black to stand out...red looks good on aftermarket upgrades, but imo, on standard callipers looks like you're trying too hard :lipsrsealed:
