Caliper colour change
Caliper colour change
Decided to "advertise " the front stoppers , As my painter says . So we decided on a very loud orange. I know it's not going to be to everyone's taste but but I'm pleased with them.

Re: Caliper colour change
Now then, they're proper red (orange). 
Mine are in BCR getting sprayed red too, I'll post a photo when I get them back. Hopefully at the end of the week.

Nah, but each to their own. It'd be an boring world if everyone was like me - I'd have no one to silently judge.

Re: Caliper colour change
Have those pistons been sprayed red/orange too or have they got something covering them which has been sprayed?

Yeah the pistons had been painted , nothing that a blade and a little 320grit didn't take off whilst the paint was still soft though . Not sure if it would have any effect on pad contact but I took other off anyway.IanH755 wrote:Have those pistons been sprayed red/orange too or have they got something covering them which has been sprayed?

Re: Caliper colour change
I'm getting mine refurbed at the moment by BCS, but I'm just sticking with their standard Gunmetal Grey as I'm not sure what colour I wanted that warranted a £150 odd extra price tag!
Re: Caliper colour change
I'm lucky , it cost me nothing . So if I don't like them I just change them to another colourJay_g wrote:I'm getting mine refurbed at the moment by BCS, but I'm just sticking with their standard Gunmetal Grey as I'm not sure what colour I wanted that warranted a £150 odd extra price tag!

Re: Caliper colour change
I'm hoping it's gonna look as good in the flesh as ithe does in my head . Black car with plus coloured wheels . Should stand out well .I was hoping to have the turbos off and away for rebuild this week .Sadly I'm not able to get the stitches out my hand for another week so it's put me back a little . So my goal is end of the month to have it back on the road. I'll stick some pics up as soon as it's back on its wheels and hopefully it won't be too Marmite.TobyRS4 wrote:I like bright calipers, jury's out though on orange until i can see them on, when will the car be back together?
