Hiii,

I'm looking to spray my calipers, just don't know what colour to go for. The colour of my car is deep impact blue. I don't wanna go for red.. I was thinking of yellow?

Anyone have thoughts on that or suggestions that'll better?

🙂

Also to mention I have black alloys. 

 

I sprayed my rear calipers gloss black when I was fitting the ST discs on and yet to do the front. 

 

It's a hard one for your colour 🙈. What about nardo grey? 

Just did mine this week, I had the same issue choosing but went with blue in the end and don’t think it looks bad. Didn’t want some that stood out too much so blue on blue worked alright.

Nardo grey? Hmmm. Here's a pic of the alloy as a reference..

Ah didn't know you had aftermarket wheels. The blue on @Daggerit car actually looks nice.

Agreed, but he's looks colour matched to his car, so maybe colour match to mine?

Electric blue??

That's actually nice 👌

That's actually nice [emoji108]

Careful, that’s what I bought and it definitely doesn’t come out like that! [emoji23]

All these blues are lovely, however, would they suit well with deep impact blue though? Thoughts? 

It's personal preference whether you like then against deep impact I guess...  I'd go for it if you're wanting a fairly subtle look.  Or gold for a slightly more noticeable look...

Thanks all of you! This feels like such a tough decision to make, but all your suggestions has been very helpful.

😊

What paint did you use?

Slightly off topic is it major surgery to put discs on the back of my PFL ?

Given this thread was about painting Fiesta front calipers it is just a teeny bit off topic!😀

Anyway, old thread on drums to discs here:

https://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/51296-rear-drums-to-disks-conversion-mk2-16petrol/

Also guide to doing this on Mk 6 Fiesta which is a pretty similar process I believe:

Thank you squire.

Rule of thumb is:

Blue calipers: great for hot weather as they ensure cool brakes and icy temperatures (do not use in cold weather as they can freeze up)

Red calipers: make the car much faster, but the brakes get hotter (using it hot weather can damage the brakes and they can actually explode)

Orange: these add medium speed, but do not get as hot (can use in any weather safely)

White: these are slightly cooler, but not as icy as blue calipers - a good allrounder

Green: these provide good all-round use and are eco-friendly with reduced brake dust emission and increased MPG

 

Other colours are untested
