Brake caliper colour.

Can't splash out on new brakes this year. Going to paint the standard ones red or silver. But which?

I tried mine in 'copper' colour this week and think it looks great. No pics yet though

I like red. And if I had the big brake conversion, that's the colour I would have. Just don't want to look like a boy racer.

I think copper or orange will look less boy racer than red. Every boy racer has red calipers... JMO though

Silver. I've done red before and they just look a bit chavvy.

Could do with a full car pic but gun metal / graphite would look nice with that wheel set up.

imho silver or anthracite is the way to go. They give the car a fresh look without overdoing it.
The more brighter colours should only be used on proper bbk's imho, when you really have something to show for over stock

(but in the end its your car, so you decide

)
