Gazjs Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Its that time of year again to paint the callipers. I am after opinion though on whether to touch up the already silver that they currently are, or to change and go for graphite to fit in with the body trim. Thoughts?

ChrisZetecS Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 The calipers on my Mk7 need painting badly! The original paint has faded and the calipers look awful. What paint do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 The paint I have on just now (Which you can see through the alloy) is Hammerite. I painted them beginning of last summer and as you can see they are pretty much still in top condition, even after the bad winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellzy Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 i've just painted the rear calipers (fronts to follow) hammerite metallic blue i think, i was not sure but once i get alloys, st bumpers and the blue st stickers on i think it'll look nice.

Focus_ST-3 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I like the silver as well, it looks very clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Ok, On reading everyone's thoughts, I am going to leave the drums silver and paint the callipers graphite (I think ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
