Brake caliper tidy up

The brake calipers on my car are looking a bit shabby. What colour do you think I should paint them?
Had same 6 pots on my d4 and did them gold but don't think it would go with the colour of the rangerover

This is my car

Black. In my opinion the more understated and and subtle a FFRR looks the better. What I think counts for nothing though, paint them the colour you think looks good.

We all have different tastes. Thumbs Up

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.

Bleeding the brakes wasn't a problem either. It's easy enough with a pressure bleeder. Kev

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

Already got some brembo stickers left over from the d4 but they are red, will see what they look like when done Thumbs Up

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
