Gold or silver. Keep it looking OEMish.

#18: Re: Painted Calipers Gallery Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 5:00 pm ---- Did them on the 206 in yellow
Feeling like gold for the 207 but there still very clean silver OEM at the moment and staying that way until the brake dust no longer cleans off them properly
#19: Re: Painted Calipers Gallery Author: roscoe, Location: North east UKPosted: Thu Mar 04, 2010 5:00 am ---- Can't decide red or black. Decisions, decisions leaning towards red tho with Brembo stickers.

what he said i think they are the best 2 options.
#24: Re: Painted Calipers Gallery Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 12:39 pm ---- Gold is by far the best colour...good preparation is the key to a good final result.
#25: Re: Painted Calipers Gallery Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 1:28 pm ---- What Edward said. Preparation is definately key. I didnt prep mine amazingly well on my old 206 and it showed in the finish. Did my friends alot better with lots more prep!
I think im going to go for Silver on my 182 however as it goes better considering the colour imo.
