Jeremyc Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hey Guys I have a black 3 door 2009 zetec hatchback. I wish to paint the brakes. I have decided to paint the rear drums silver using hammerite silver smooth. Now i'm uncertain what to use for the front calipers. I have stock alloys. I was thinking perhaps blue would look nice but I suck at photoshop! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 im popping these on the rear soon, may do the fronts red as well. red to match the red lighting all over the car! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Red, and dont spray them, brush on best for durablilty, couple of coats, Halfords red wheel paint is good, a good lacquer on top makes them easier to clean, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremyc Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hmm no one thinks blue would look good? Anyone able to possibly photoshop a black 3dr 58 plate with red or blue? Would be really appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turvey Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Not done mine but would suggest not overdoing it with the paint! ;) http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/attachments/f68/1759d1082587642-painted-my-calipers-now-my-car-wont-stop-smells-funny-rotor.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
