Painting callipers.

[ashermbz]

Hi all new on here. I have a c class in brilliant blue with 19” diamond cut and met grey alloys.
the problem is the paint on the callipers are worse for wear, any suggestions on a new colour.
I don’t want to cheapen the look of the car, just be subtle with the colour , thanks..

What alloys do you have, interested to see the colour combo you mention, can you post pics? Matching the metallic grey will probably look smart

Hi Jol here is a pic of the actual colour of the wheels.

Personally I'd match the calipers to the grey on the alloys

Thanks for your input, it’s either metallic graphite or black

Not the best photo, but I painted mine black, unless you have big 4 pots it wont look good in bright colours.

Thanks for your input folks, anthracite grey it is.
when I get it done I will post some photos. Cheers..

They're nice big AMG looking calipers , because there're not ugly rough cast? they deserve to be shown off .

Red would really pop against the diamond cut wheels and metallic blue bodywork .

Use a dark colour to hide ugly calipers , not bright or silver...





Night and day...

Thanks for the pics and input

Out of curiosity is it a simple upgrade to calipers from old ugly ones to the better AMG ones?

With a big brake kit, however you need to change the discs, lines etc. looking at £££.

Hi, yes it as been a thought, but the ones on the car are fine, but need a refurb, I think at the moment they let the cars looks down..
