    Brake caliper painting?

    Any thoughts/ advice on this? I have two silver and two yellow brake calipers so have to sort them?
    Paint brush or rattle can ?
    Back to black or go with a colour? I'm not one for this kinda thing but I think red might pop behind the black alloys? The back are drilled and grooved, look nice,
    Talk to me....:-)

    Paint brush is a hell of a lot easier if your not good with masking up (or lazy) .brush has a very good finish same with spray. Red would be really nice on black alloys and looks sporty .
    If u have a steam cleaner it was the best way I found to clean my brakes otherwise washing up liquid and a tooth brush

    BRAKE CALIPER PAINTING???

    I done mine recently I painted it on as it was less messy. I went for black and they turned out nice.

    Red yellow or luminous green would suit it

    Brake caliper painting?

    Silver, anthracite or black IMO, other colors possibly will highlight how small the brakes look behind the 19" wheels
