Painting callipers

[Graeme GTR]

spray them black with red stickers. Will look nice and understated. Either that or go GTR on your ass and go for gold calipers. Would make me smile =D

Haha don't think I'm too keen on going golden just yet I'm liking the black and red idea though!! May have to get myself on ebay when I'm back and get some stickers and paint unless anybody has spares going?

Id go for black with red Brembo font, Im not a fan of Red calipers. It's a bit outdated now imo.

Just cleaned the calipers the best i can, brake dust is a b*tch...
Also tried the paint on some valve caps... OMG there is a reason they say to use a glass jars... IT ATE THROUGH PLASTIC!!!

I bet this stuff gives you seven kinds of death!

Haha blimey! How did the valve caps turn out?

Only got a single coat on three of them before the plastic started to mix with the paint. i think its going to look ok matching the calipers in the end.

I think if it all goes tits up, ill take it to the wheel specialist in Fareham and get them to do my calipers professionally
