Patrico777 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Should I paint my brake calipers and drums ? And what colour ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yes definitely. Red works very well on dark cars. Sent from my SM-G930F 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSMarsden Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I would say Red, or Dark Blue (won't stand out much) and I have a soft spot for yellow....but unsure how that would look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Bright painted drums look pretty bad, but freshening them up with black is a good idea. I've done the calipers on mine black because I'm old and boring now lol. But have had lots of blue brakes on previous cars, red looks good against black also.

BobbyDee Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I would go for black drums and red calipers had the same set up on my old fiesta and it suited the car well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPX309 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 As BobbyDee said, black drums, Don't wanna be drawing attention to those. I also really like yellow callipers on black cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Halfords paint is good, not the spray but brush on, i laqùered mine after and never had any issues with caliper temps affecting the finish ( and that was on a 320hp car with focus st brakes with heavy use) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard150 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 ive allways paint my calipers and disc centres with hammitte paint smooth like cooper or gold and allways looks and lasts well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I've always used Hammerite as well, both spray and brush, seems to work fine either way. Also used some 'normal' spray paint to colour code some to the car and that lasted surprisingly well! I wouldn't spend more for high temp paint on a 'normal' car myself.

Philf1 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hammerite which is available from B&Q or similar. Red or yellow for the calipers and black for the drums Red black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666Damian666 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I agree, go Red calipers but leave the drums alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
