What colour to paint calipers
Hi I had problems with my calipers so going to clean and overhaul them, so was wondering about giving them a coat of paint while they are off the car so looking for any suggestions as to which colour would look nice on an anthracite ZTT with straights ?
Thanks

Brighter colour might be better for the dark colour cars Robert .

If you want them to look nice paint them red, if you want them to blend in with most others paint them a rust colour

Just refurbing a set myself at the moment and I think I'm going to paint mine red. I've found some caliper decals as well which I thought I might put on in silver. These will be on my primertallic silver ZTT.
Though of red because some MGFs had 4 pot calipers fitted and they were red with a white MG logo, they look good http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3816498628...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-Brake-C...YAAMXQoYJSJFV1 Some for the Rover too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-Brak...gAAMXQoYJSIMQo
