M4RC Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm gonna get my calipers painted soon. Just wondering on what colours people think would look good. I like red but it's a bit common, also I think white would look awesome and would blend on with all my other stuff (all interior lights, puddle lights, all interior will be white soon and also I've got the white dials), the big problem with white though would be keeping them clean so it's probably a big no. Any opinions would be good and I could do with a link to some? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666Damian666 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yellow or Orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4RC Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yellow or Orange That would certainly be a bit different just think it would stand out a little much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4RC Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 i recon this :- That looks really good. Might go for that :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjalle Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'd go the blue martyntdci suggested - I was going to paint mine that colour but couldnt find it in a heatproof paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yellow look good, but hard to keep clean. That blue looks nice, but will it stand out behind the dark arch? I'm going the "common" route and going Brembo red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bholm Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Blue would definitely look good and then they're not red like all the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Forgot to say there is a dull yellow that is nice, not the canary bright yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going the "common" route and going Brembo red. Yeah, I'll have a look. It does but your probably right enough, it won't really stand out at all. Red stands out a lot and won't be the hardest to keep clean so that'll be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4RC Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Like I said, I have seen Yellow on a White car before and it looks smart Yeah, that sounds good. Will be a nightmare to keep clean but will look really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousa Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I also reckon yellow would look good. Smother it in poorboys wheel sealant and rinse weekly I'm sure they'd stay sparkling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyntdci Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 they do other colours also, but the blue imo looks best http://www.amazon.co.uk/Foliatec-2162-Brake-Calliper-Paint/dp/B0029SFIEY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393882956&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+calliper+paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wash the car pretty much weekly anyways so it would probably be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousa Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 To be fair that picture above has much bigger brakes than a fiesta so it shouldn't stand out as much as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAL150N Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I was thinking of doing mine white, no less practical than a white car and would great for a few minutes at least, just after you washed them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4RC Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 To be fair that picture above has much bigger brakes than a fiesta so it shouldn't stand out as much as that I've only got drums on the back so would just be the front :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would look epic, just keeping it clean would be a nightmare :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B13 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm having mine done red too. Common I know, but my Fiesta van is black, so the red calipers will match the red rear lamp clusters... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
