Title: Best colour match for calipers or red grill stripe
Post by: brough74 on March 12, 2012, 10:13:56 am

Hi i need to colour code my brake calipers as the paint already on them is chipped and slightly discoloured. So whats the best match for the standard colour or to match the red stripe in the grill on the GTI.

Ive used hammerite and smoothrite in the past on other cars aswell as proper caliper paint.

So what do people reckon is the best match ?

I'm sure the caliper colour is tornado red as well.

The nearest caliper red is RAL3020
