Brembo Colour - Opinions wanted

A bit of a long story but the place that fitted my brembos didnt attach the lines correctly so i've had a slow leak of brake fluid over the calipers and now need to have them re-painted. Originally, I had Cruisn paint them black as i was after something subtle although after having them fitted for a month i've come to the conclusion that i'd like them to stand out a bit more. A bit of a blessing in disguise i guess as they'll be paying for it. Hopefully the paint place they use will do as good a job as Cruisn.

At this point im thinking either white or red, but leaning towards white. Open to other suggestions also.

Crusin's monster thread of Brembo pic awesomeness is a great reference: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15726

Why did the brake fluid fuck the paint? Did a back yarder do the paint and not know what they were doing?
I painted mine with 2 pack years ago and wash then down with degrease then high pressure wash they look like new



"O" Brembo red or nothing

+1

Pour some brake fluid over the jeep and see how long it still looks nice for.

Yellow gets my vote... Will look great against the white & generally speaking it's associated with high end cars with high end brakes - Think Carbon Ceramic on Ferrari & Porsche.

Orange would be pretty different which is always a winner in my book.

Of course, Brembo Red is never a bad choice :)

Someones fishing, but nothings biting...... :lol:

White "IF" you had black rims.

Unfortunately I have to agree with Buddah and would go the Brembo red with white decals.
