guys, ive recently sprayed my brake calipers a bright red as i had gloss black alloys and car looked a bit too standard and boring so just thought id ask what your opinions are of coloured calipers. i wasn't too sure when i first did them but they keep growing on me more and more everytime i see the car now ha :homme:
good mod or just look like shit? :panic: let me know

Looks smart, I'd like to do mine red to match the colour of my car.

What paint did you use?

brake caliper paint off ebay mate i think its heat resistant? was only cheap and i had some clear laquer from doing my alloys a while ago, i can send you a link to the one i got if you want the same colour its really bright to be fair and it hasnt faded or anything even though i havnt washed them ha
