right. its the last thing to do on my reconditoned brake setups. what colour shall i paint my calipers??

the rest of the car is black and chrome, and running black 10" mambas - the rest of the brake setups are painted black aswel.

i would paint it black or gold (if it isnt already)

[Purtsi]

I've painted mine red and the fiesta ones that i'm reconditioning, I'm painting in burning orange.. well, it's more like yellow, but looks fast

i'd prob go for a few coats of hammerite gold spray can, or silver to match the minifins.....

[cap'n crunch]

SILVER!



the rest of my car is black with chrome arches and side stips

[blacktulip]

gold all the way i think, maybe some nice KAD ones???? lol

[JoeBodge]

think im gonna go with the orange idea - thats the colour i want to paint my next engine - colour coded cheers Purtsi

[JoeBodge]

shall i paint them before or after fittin the new pots an seals?
and should i paint the inside bit - (the face which the pots and padsare on?)

thanks

personally i would only paint the bits that are visable... but you can paint it all apart form working parts obviously!

[JoeBodge]

cheers retro 10's helpful as usual

so should i paint them before or after fitting the new pots n seals?

[Purtsi]

I'd and actually will paint calipers inside out, except the piston hole etc ofcourse.. looks much nicer that way..

JoeBodge - my engine is already painted with the same colour as my calibers will be, will look very nice

[JoeBodge]

before or after fitting the new pots n seals??

[Purtsi]
