**t5lover** · Wednesday 29th July 2009, 13:47

as above says really i just got a new set of wheels and the brakes look crap just dont know what color paint i should put on them if u got pics or help me choose please,, by the way the car is in olive green and silver wheels thanks,,

I'd go for black for an understated look, any other colour may clash with your car to be honest. I suppose you could get away with yellow though.

thanks mate thats cool,, i was thinking of gold might look ok on it or like u say yellow really,,

Personally i think with the single piston type of caliper the understated look is best. I had my fronts black with a small white volvo sticker and the rears plain black. Will get a pic up when i get home from work.

ok then chaps i think it might be black then i wait till i have seen your pics first tho thanks,

I think red would look good if your wheels were anthracite or black, if they're grey then black would probably be the best.

smooth gold hammerite looks spankin, esp on dark coloured cars

Hmmmm, may wander down the old B&Q at the weekend myself. Never even occured to me to paint the calipers.

I too hated the tatty looking brakes behind my nice wheels, being as I'd just put some moose stickers on I painted them to match the stickers....

**Filterlab** · Wednesday 29th July 2009, 16:17

Hmmm, maybe I'll go red instead. Has anyone got a picture of a dark 850/70 with red calipers?
