Spent the entire day painting my calipers yellow and they look to have come up alright. Jacking up each corner and pulling each wheel off was painfull, and then comes the 4-5 coates, trying to avoid all the other areas.

Was surprised how long it took, started at 10am and finished at just before dark. You might notice the discs got some yellow on them, but I hear that will wear away.

Also thinking of doing the hubs yellow as well, though others are saying silver. They look ordinary as they have rusted and have flaked a lil.

Maybe jacking up one side of the car as apposed to just each corner at a time. (2 wheels at once)

Looks good mate, but yer it is a ballbreaker of a job... I did 2 cars in one day about a month ago and I was exhausted...

Not a fan of the yellow, why did you go yellow?

Red for the fake brembo look? What else was is there and I think the yellow will fade down over time andnot be so glossy. Who knows, might me help me find the car better at night after the pub.

I.B - I'm with scar....

But the PBR blue might have worked considering your car colour, however it could clash also...

Not a fan of the yellow - but balls for the choice... and with you on the Red - unless you have Brembos its a bit of a flog job... So with you on that point to mate...

I once had yellow calipers on my sky blue Series 3 Bluebird with TRX wheels and it looked mad tits!

I like it!

I've got a velocity T and painted my calipers yellow, everyone has red and blue on blue just wouldn't look rite...

You should have taken the calipers off and removed the pads, it looks much better when the back of the pads are left black.

Pads will eventuallly wear out and get changed, but I like the look of the pads being the same colour, especially as BF has bigger front calipers/pads.
