Brake Calliper Colour?

Post by Dndo »

Brake Callipers Colour...Since I got my Roc a few months ago I have wanted to paint the callipers I just can't decide which colour to go for, anyone got any preference? I know Blue/Red are the most common but im feeling something different. Thanks :)

If stock brakes then black, they are way to small to be showing off with a bright colour

If however you have a BBK, then the world is your lobster and any colour will look great on white

Saying that, the Rocco R brakes do look quite nice in different colours as they are quite big!

I did mine blue when replacing mine with the R32 callipers :)

It was a bit lighter than I wanted but ahh well!

For future reference RAL5002 is the darker colour that you were wanting, which is the OEM colour for R32 calipers. Looks as though yours have been done Jazz Blue
