what colour calipers?

Post by Mr ade »

Hi all...next on my to do list is paint my brake calipers. Not sure what colour though. ..was going to go red but maybe try a blue or gold?. I think white would look good but they wouldn't stay white. What colour have folks done theirs? Anyone got any pics of their handywork?
My car is white by the way...
Most scirocco's are all the same but some are different...

I agree with OCD, gold would look good!

What colour calipers do you think would look good on Rising blue?..........I was thinking gold as well!

I recently painted mine to gold... Was just gonna clean the calipers and leave them in silver but I couldn't get them looking clean/shiny [emoji17]

Bought a tub of hammerite smooth and here they are...
