Matt _Aero top_ Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well now the better weather is starting to show itself i'm thinking of painting my brake calipers and the little hub bit at the front of the brake disc because basically since i put the new wheels on they look ..... Shocking . My only problem is what colour i just can't decide , Do i go with something subtle just to keep it clean like black , or maybe gold .Or do i go for something abit more in ya face like Yellow , Red . Or should i fit new discs ? something like this in the attached address and just paint the calipers .http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUPRA-Twin-Turbo-Drilled-Grooved-Brake-Discs-Front-Rear_W0QQitemZ300198299904QQihZ020QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hmm those disks look good but would they stay shiny for ever? And also is drilling disks that are not designed to be drilled such a good idea? As for caliper colours I say black would look nice and subtle.

Nic Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Fancy discs or painting them gold/yellow will just draw attention to the ikle calipers. Just buy these instead http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=98436 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 the best option is black little hub bit with red calipers IMO (i'm going to do this myself untill i can afford a better setup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossack Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 my cars black and ive done them gold not a great close up pic but you get the just, as you can see im a less is more person and i must say with some suprise that if i was painting mine again id do the calipers yellow! yes i did say yellow, seen them on a black lambo once and they looked stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 I was thinking yellow but just thought i'd test the water and put it to you guys first , after all if i get a slateing for it i can change it easy enough as its only paint .
