brake colour

[babyboom]

right guys and gals, as most of you know this is my car (see pic) so now that i got the alloys a fortnight ago i now need to paint he brakes, well i was thinking silver to go with the colour of the car - green n silver, well my pal says i should do them red (like most cars) to break up the whole green n silver look

so im lost now, do i paint them silver or red???

 

[mean micra]

black...

do them gold

 

[tse_adam]

i would stick with the car's colour, green! you dont want your car to look like a lego do ya?! hehe

 

[fraz_micra_88]

green or silver!! i would go for green

 

[Retepetsir]

I keep them standard, unless the brakes are bigger of course (to show them off!)

 

[babyboom]

green or gold are not on the colour options, its not going gold cos i done this to my pals rover 220 gti when he painted his wheels gold, so hes been waiting for a time to get me back, plus i can only get dark green in the hammerite paint not light green

ps. yes he is a rangers fan lol

if u have drums paint them black (and keep them black) with the fronts either yellow or green.

 

[Dr Zoidberg]

drums = black
calipers = silver

imo

If you keep them in decent condition you shouldnt have any rust on them

 

[philzee]

tbh micra calipers are so small i dont think it would be worth it, if anything black would be better as it wouldnt make them stand out and scream LOOK IVE GOT TINY BRAKES lol. the same goes for other small cars, unless they are uprated brakes it just aint worth it imo

 

[Glenn]

100% green!!

 

[RIK]

whats wrong with small brakes? the whole point in painting them is to prevent rust,if you want to colour code them do it!

its a micra at the end of the day people dont expect much anyway.it just shows you have a nice tidy car that you look after
