Zack Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Has anyone got any pictures of red brake calipers聽on these alloys just so i can get an idea of what they look like before i start painting 馃榾 thank you聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Won't your car have drums on the back? It just looks daft if you paint them red, or only have the front done. Black is the way to go with this setup I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Got drums on back,was going to leave them standard. but paint fronts but unsure what colour聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizza11 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think red will be fine mine is red although mine is different a focus and has different wheels if it makes you smile then its right. I've seen red, black ,green, yellow聽 with or without drums it's just personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biff55 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 why not silver ? looks equally fine on both calipers & drums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 I want to paint them just deciding what colour, silver would look quite good to be honest.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy42 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I have painted the calipers gloss red and the drums gloss black with Hammerite.聽 Looks fine to me on a red car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yeah think ill be doing the same soon!馃榾 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFiesta Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Stick with black for the drums and the colour of your choice for the callipers. Just remember to clean them well, let them dry and use a heat resistant paint.聽 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yeah def leave drums black. fronts not sure if you would really notice fronts silver as聽my alloys are silverish, black would聽probably look better than standard debating red but i dunno.

zain611 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I would spray the rear drums gloss black and front calipers either red or gloss black. I am planning on doing a rear disc conversion by buying a rear beam from an ST (as the STs came with rear discs). I'm having a hard choice choosing wherever to get the calipers sprayed gloss black or red. I have a mk6.5 fiesta zetec s so don't know if red may suit the sporty looks or gloss black might make it look discreet and tidy.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
