    If it was me the callipers would probably be red and the drums are always painted black, you never see cars leave the factory with fancy coloured drums, looks stuppid imo.

    Question: Whats the best way to tell everyone you have a slow car?

    paint them red..take a pic, then gold take a pic, then blue take a pic and so on thru all the colours....reason: i have anthracite comets on a black car and would make it easier for me to decide what colour to do mine ...LOL
    I am toying with doing my calipers anthracite same as wheels....or a greeny hazel colour to go with my eyes....
