Calliper Colour for Emocion Red Leon

[ross27]

Looking to paint my callipers, but unsure as what colour to do them.

Red is the first idea, but would like to see opinions and what other people have done.

Pictures would be good.

Red looks the best if U ask me.

Yeah, thats probably what i will do. Did you do you own?

Im going to be doing the rusty brake disk hubs at the same time, doing them black.

How about black with red SEAT decals?

Hmm, just spotted your signature photo. Does look nice.

I was looking for opinions as red car red callipers may be a bit much

Post photos

Rear with SEAT badge

Front with larger SEAT decal

Slightly less ''in your face'' than red on a red car I thought

How did you paint them? I was planning on using hamerite, but unsure if i just paint it straight on.

Mine still look shiny as hell becuase I used Foliatec Black paint. It cost's about £25 but if you do at least 2 good coats then it's there forever really. I then used these

I liked it as it matched my Red/Black FR look!!!!!

Mine are red..

However they don't look very red in that pic! Too much brake dust! Might do them again in a stronger red colour..

Hamerite Red for Calipers and hamerite silver for Hubs.
Clean both with wire brush and put two coats on..

Nice one mate. Will be doing this on Friday if the weather holds off!

Do you have photos of the silver hubs?
