Title: Opinions please!
Post by: Gazmufc87 on February 06, 2013, 03:54:38 pm: Hello people,

My brake calipers are really rusty and looking a bit of a eye sore with the dark alloys you can see it more.

So I'm going to paint them.

I'm thinking black.

But the question is what colour do you think would look best?

Black or Red ?

Any other colour you think will look good?
Here's a pic

All comments welcome

Cheers

There not small there beasts;D:D

Yeah black was what I was thinking it's more just to clean them up rather than looks as rust never looks good.
