craig79 Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Mornin' everyone. One of the impending jobs for the motor is a refurb of the calipers. What colours have you boys and girls went for. Black with white lettering is a bit safe i thought[8-)] Any pics would really be appreciated[] Craig

wrxmania Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Where do you all get the paint - is it a hammerite job or proper Caliper paint?
scientific steve Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 you could always have no paint on them []
wrxmania Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I'd like to refurb my calipers - what did you paint them with - Hammerite?????
wrxmania Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I think I'll do black with white lettering - or black with yellow or red maybe - or infact Silver lettering may be ppropriate.

wrxmania Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Does it seem to be holding up OK? And did you clean the claipers with anything in particular before painting? Brian []

Brian [] holding up really well only down side is when I changed the pads I chipped the paint trying to remove the pins [:$]. I went over them with a wire brush and gave them a good wash. Phil
