Hi all

Think Im gonna paint my calipers this weekend as they are seriously rusty and are ruining the look of the car! So the question is, what colour do I do them? Im into subtle really so am thinking of black calipers with the Subaru in silver or silver calipers with the Subaru writing in black? What do ya reckon?

Hmmmm, the red does look good but Im doing the rears as well so I dont want it looking too much! The other thing is that the rear caliper is single piston floating so I think they look pretty poor when painted in a colour you can see. They wont stand out in black!

I reckon Im gonna go with the black and silver combo as you said Adam!

Now is it Hammerite or that brake lacquer stuff? Im swaying towards smooth Hammerite?
