Is this advisable if i want to tidy up the car?
I was thinking about painting the disks black and calipers red.
But i have been told it would affect the braking due to the paint...
I know i would need heat proof paint...
So to all you experts... DOES IT??? :afro:

Painting the calipers is fine, looks cool (dont paint the drums a lairy colour though, cus theyre gay).


Painting disks is about as crazy as stickin your manlyhood in an oven door

If you want disks to look good, try and get some grooved ones mate. In a bigger size if youve got the budget, you can get some much bigger and better ones for about 200 quid, with everything you need incl calipers etc. Drilled disks look even better, but theyre prone to crack.

Painting calipers is fine mate, theres a guide on here in the faq or modification section i think. Just need to take your time to do em, cant use em for a bit after you paint em.
