Gonna be painting my calipers very soon when i fit 314mm discs etc but i cant make my mind up what colour.

I like Red or Silver, depending on the colour of your cars or wheels.

My car is black with silver flakes mate

im torn too, got them to fit but cant decide on colour, im thinking black.

[bobssignum]

Of your 5 posted choices i would go one of two ways either colour code them and go with black ,Or go for a contrast and paint them either yellow or red .
Going by others choices i would probably lean towards yellow in this case , but thats just me

i guess colour coded to car could look fine and could possibly be a wise choice.

if you paint them red or yellow be prepared to be constantly cleaning them because they look s**t when the brake dust gets on them i done mine red on my car and if there not clean it just looks discoloured

My old vec b had yellow calipers (satin red with black wheels) they looked smart but did get dirty quick.

My black Vectra has blue calipers yes they do get dirty but spraying them when spraying the wheels and the use of the rim brush on them has them shining like new still after two years, not bad for brush applied hammerite IMHO

[mike.]

Can you get blue hammerite to match the vxr calipers?
