Default Brake calliper colour??
Just got some refurbed callipers, and before they get fitted I'm going to paint them. Not being very colour cordinated I wondered if people had any ideas on what would work with a silver car. Im thinking blue but this may stand out a bit too much?

I'm refurbing some at the moment and made a thread to get pics up to give me Idea's....
https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...r-colours.html

There's some inspiration on there. I had a silver WRX and painted my calipers blue, and they did stick out quite a bit, but that was very bright blue. WR1 blue may be a bit more subtle, a bit like these on the left....

I had my Gold Brembos painted the same colour as my car .... Black Mica, and had the Brembo logo in electric Blue.

I'm liking the idea of black and silver, gold looks awesome but they'd have to be brembos if they were gold. To many combinations
