Looking to paint my calipers in either red, yellow or plain silver.

Obviously yellow
but then red would stand out more Brembo cupra R stylee

silver would match the mirrors tho

sorry, i not being much help am i????

post up some pics when you decide! i like lo-cost high impact mods, very simple, yet extremely effective.
bit like putting the Honda short ariel on. So much better, and under a tenner

are you looking at front and rear?? or just fronts??

red i think calipers look best in that colour and will really stand out on the yellow and same as the ibiza cupra calipers and lcr ones!

I agree - think red would look the best

I would also say red, try and spray them, i painted them and if you look closely you could see the paint brush marks. That car was written off so i don't have any picture for you, sorry.
Not yet done it on my FR, not sure if i will to be honest.

gotta be the traditional red. looks just right. although the VRs's green ones look quite good on them.

Black with some Audi heat resistant stickers, subtle yet cool!
See mine on my avatar

gotta be red like the cupras maybe get some seat sport stickers to stick on after aswell give that extra detail!

Black looks good on my red'un
not much help to you i know but i just thought i'd let you know

 

[TWP]

Red it is then

Not sure whether to do just the fronts or the rears as well?

Not sure how good the small rear calipers will look painted. They will also need quite a bit of work before painting as there is some corrosion

 

[davels]

paint both mate, better to show of your baby calipers in red rather than peaple looking at rusty coloured mouldy ones

 

[davels]

by both i mean Front and rear

I currently have red ones on my Cupra...

I'm going to paint mine yellow (to match the bodywork), and get the alloys powdercoated black...

Yellow, hoping to do mine cause the Brembo's are losing there laquer, Frman did you get that paint mixed or is it of the shelf?

It was two part mix yourself stuff from savage. Good coverage, loads left over! However, because I was painting my new brakes I could put as many coats on and it could take its own time to dry and go off. When it comes to painting my rear ones, I'll need them to dry as quickly as, as I can't afford for my car to be off the road for too long! I'll have to borrow my dad's new car, lol

gotta paint front and rear! dont take much longer and its just anouther job done just sand away all corrotion lightly, give it a good clean and apply in loads of thin coats to get best results.
