Want to get calipers painted... advice?

[H8T WP]

I love the big red cupra brakes, but they look strange with the black wheels!

i want some nice white calipers, i think the whole black / white contrast will look fantastic !

obviously i don't want to do it myself, i want them properly done , baked etc

anyone got any thoughts, comments , solutions?

White Calipers IMO are a bad idea, they will never look clean when the brake dust stains them

What about the nice blue found on the R32?

yeh the red calipers and black wheels looks good mate. i think if you do them white... there gunna end up looking grey and dirty. Plus its pushing the white look a bit too far lol.

Your choice though

PS, the red brakes go well with the matching red K1 badge

[wobblelino]

no offence but they will never be white as soon as you drive off the tarmac. But good luck and let us see them once they're done!

Charming. I was taking your side there, mate. The piccy was to show that Essex Boy likes RS stickers and fog lights, not white calipers.

[flakmunky]

Whatever. Youre a mind reader are you?

Just do it yourself mate. There's really nothing to it! If you know how to change a wheel then you can paint your calipers!! I painted mine black with glossy black (heat-resistant) hammerite and they still look great after 4-5 months. Just give the calipers a light rub with a wire-brush to clean them up and give them a couple of thick coats of paint. Allow to dry. Job done! Dead easy and it'll cost you a tin of paint, a paintbrush and an hour or two of your time.
