    Default painting calipers

    Just a quick question,
    Do you paint the carriers the same as the caliper? And paint the clip a different colour?
    What did everyone do on here?

    Cheers for the help In advance.

    Ive seen some with the whole shabang the same colour and some with different colour clip.
    Some one told me do caliper red for example and carrier and clip another colour.
    Would this look odd?

    On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the easiest, its a 2. All you need is a wire brush, a tin of paint and paint brush.
