Brakes & Hubs Painting

[Coullio]

I am after some advise. I want to paint my brake calipers & hubs but I don't know what colour would look best. I have a IS200 Sport Plat Silver (see pic). I was thinking red or black. If you have a IS200 what colour did you paint yours.

I think red looks quite good with black LOC caliper stickers!

I did mine silver with black stickers.

I think black looks nice with chrome stickers B)

Sorry I forgot to ask. How long did it take you to paint them all (paint drying etc). I am going to speak to my mate, who works in a Garage and ask if I could use his ramp 1 weekend.

Keep it nice and clean:

Black with chrome !

Black with chrome stickers

Quick tip, cut the sticker into each letter and bend it round the calliper, dont just stick it on as one peice.

did mine black with silver stickers, now got the chromes to put on instead, but not got round to doing it yet!

Mine is Plat. ice also.

Looking back, I would now do mine silver with black stickers. Looks very smart (which is what I was after - rather than in your face!) and also matches say the AMG's etc.

Maybe when I take my old stickers off, I should repaint silver???

I've painted my brake hubs in light grey, and plan to do the calipers in gold ,as soon as the weather gets better :) , not sure about the colour of stickers , maybe black would look good on gold calipers :D .

Black - hides the brake dust

Bought silver hameritte and the black lexus stickers for my IS200 Plat Ice... just waiting for a free weekend that is dry and fairly warm!!

Will post some pics once done (in a few months no doubt, at my current speed and weather conditions in Macclesfield!!)

Hope it was Hammerite smooth.......

[Corby]

Yeah it was.. :)

[LennyLexus]

Hope it was Hammerite smooth.......

whats better to use?

hammerite for £8.99 but takes an hour to dry?

Or HALF**** brake calliper paint at £9.99 takes 15 mins to dry? (only available in gold, red, green of somthing )

Looks very smart. Ill post a pic when i get round to it

On my Black GS Sport I did red calipers with white stickers. Depends whethe ryou want the calipers or the stickers to stand out or both!

[Scorpion]

IMO red looks like your copying a porsche.
