The brake calipers on my car are looking a bit shabby. What colour do you think I should paint them?

Cheers guys. Here's the stuff I used. I must say, it was dead easy to lay up and no lacquer was needed over the top as it was a satin finish.

They look great Kev, think my mind is made up . Couldn't decide between black or silver so this is the obvious answer

Mine are also grey but look unpainted, just a natural alloy finish and they look a bit tired now after almost 7 years and 100k miles Paul

Same here. That's why I painted them. They caught my eye every time I got into the car. Kev
