Help - Brake Caliper Paint Colour

I know it was a bit more expensive, but due to work commitments and no being able to get to any decent shops, it was easier to buy and get it delivered.

Your pics look really cool by the way

Black All The Way, It looks subtle and then if you put some decal on it, the brakes will really stand out, mine are black but no decal yet. I agree with everyone else about hammerite, i use matt black then put a clear laquer on top to make it shine. Beavis, where did you get all the red engine styling stuff?

Spoons a splash of Red for yours mate. The idea of paining the calipers is so they stand out and are easier to clean. Black would be.... well... Too Black. IMHO Of Course.
