Just wondering if anyone with a white AU has painted their calipers and if so, what colour. I've done a search but I couldn't find anyone with a white car. I was going to do them red but I am having second thoughts. I was thinking either blue, silver or white. any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks Falzoony |

I was thinking of doing mine white, but then thought of how easily and quickly they would get dirty. From what I have seen, the silver and chrome look paint looks kinda cheap. I'd probably go with blue if I were you. I'm thinking of doing mine purple for the simple fact that the car will eventually be resprayed with a purple pearl through it.

johnny .. we have spoken about this lolz ... as u know, i suggest red, where we would then stencil the word BREMBO *spelling* onto the callipar with a white marking pencil hehe ... but, now u've mentioned Blue, that might also look awsome, seeing as u want to go with a Blue colour scheme with ur car???
but i don't think white or chrome will look good ... typical wog, wanting more chrome!!!

I had my commodores painted red, the best part is they stand out behind the mag, the worse part.. they were standard brakes. I just went with black on the falcon. Nothing flashy, tidy and if the get covered it dust, you cant tell.

red or blue for sure - Ive seen both, both look good, both look factory, both stand out. On a white car Id personaly opt for red, maybe photoshop a couple of colours to see what you like.
