Can't decide what colour to do my brake callipers.
#1
Hi all. Here is my car so far. Provence blue paint, metallic dark grey wheels. What colour would you think would look nice on the callipers? I can't decide haha.

Nice car man. Those wheels look more black than dark grey lol

Caliper colour hmm.. Maybe blue. Or me personally, would go for a more standard black /silver paint

Cheers mate Smile still got bits and pieces that need doing to make it that bit neater. Suspension needs some work as well lol.
And yeah I know they are really dark tbf. They have metallic sparkle in them though so in real life they look more metallic.

I was thinking blue but didn't think I would be able to get the same as on the car which would make it look a bit odd. So yeah I was also swaying towards either black or silver. However metallic purple is also tempting Tongue haha

Could mix a tiny bit of blue into silver, so get a hint of blue in it. Bit like moonstone lol

Thats a nice idea that is tbf. I suppose if I got dark blue and silver and just kept mixing until I got close to the colour of my car it probably wouldn't be noticed that its slightly off by anyone haha Smile

I'd go silver, will look fresh and won't clash with the body

Most people like me do them red if you want to be different you could do them lite blue to tie in with rest of your car. I'm thinking of getting mine powder court blue when I order my big brake kit

Silver is an excellent idea

Ive got a silver 306 and done them in Hammerite blue which is a light blue, I like it as it suits the car, go for whichever colour you like the best Smile

I'd usually say black or silver.
But I went for something different. [attachment=23785]

I'm getting a lot of hate for my yellow C8 Brembo's ;-)
I'd say go with silver, or maybe a solid gray could look cool!

Silver against that colour will look just right.

Mine are also hammerite yellow and it is pretty bright.
Yours looks good though with them being brembos.

Was it at some point 'cool' and 'the done thing' to have yellow callipers?

My Rallye has them too.....although they will be coming off, blasted bare and redone as they would have been from the factory....

I think Porsche started the trend, they colour coded their caliper depending on if they were normal iron or carbon discs.

I really want to colour code mine to the colour of the car but I need to find somewhere that will do colour matched high temperature paint :/ I have emailed a place near me and they don't do it. Any ideas of anywhere that I could order it from custom and get it made up?

Thanks everyone Big Grin
