calummac21 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 hey guys im going to paint my calipers in the near future but have recently been torn into a split mind. this comes as i have an 11 zetec s in black with the street pack, black & silver overlays, blue interior and the standard red dash lights. so i was going to go for red as red calipers on a black car always looks good. i have a can already from my previous car so it could also been out of laziness i was going to go for red. BUT i was sipping a can of monster the other day and well the black and green combination made me think it could look alright for the calipers and also how well ken block's black white and green monster fez works! so anyone got any opinions on what would look better, red or green :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calummac21 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 yeah that would be good, wouldnt mind seeing a shot of it. the monster can looks great, the only niggle in my mind is the green wont look as bright hidden behind the silver wheels so i could well be going down the red road!

merlin Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Blue looks ok but red wins for me. Has anyone fitted those caliper painted covers available from the states???? No painting needed, just clip em on, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNath Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 You guys have done a really good job, is it hard to paint calipers? Nope, wire brush to clean it then get a can of Hammerite and slap it on :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiesta_lad Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Would you have to take of the caliper to spary it or can you do it with it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryboi Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Definitely Monster green mate. It would stand out for the right reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisZetecS Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I did mine in white to roughly match the paintwork, and to contrast the dark anthracite of the wheels: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Would you have to take of the caliper to spary it or can you do it with it on. I used a brush and did it whilst still on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
