Calliper Colour Help.... Please!

[BE4ORE]

I find that red, yellow, black and blue are too common, sometimes it's good to be different, I used Dupli-colour metal cast, they make calipers look awesome, if you want red I'd recommend it, looks amazing.

That does look awesome actually!!! But here is a silly question... what is dupli-color?

I want something to paint with a brush so it's more controlled and paint only the areas i want!

Dupli-Color® Metalcast™ Anodized Color turns ordinary chrome pieces into a bright, transparent-colored metallic finish in an easy one-step process. Metalcast is a durable enamel finish that is oil, gas, and heat resistant to 500° F intermittently, making it ideal for interior, exterior, and high-heat applications under the hood. Specially formulated to work over properly prepared shiny, bare metal, and faux chrome-like surfaces.

How about no colour? If it's not a monobloc, it'll look 'wannabe'/'try-hard' when painted red or any other 'attention-seeking' colour. That's just my opinion. How about cast aluminum or iron for a subtle 'natural' finish?

Yep, thats exactly what I ended up doing. I hit them with a wire brush and they look brand new

I ended up spraying mine because it kept rusting for some reason. At first I was goin to finish it in 'cast aluminum' but it ended up with 'cast iron'. I'll post photos up soon.

If you get them back to bare metal via sandblasting or however you choose you can always clear coat them to prevent rust etc.

I indeed would have sandblasted them if had stripped them down completely for a rebuild. I've heard the clear coat turns a tinge yellow over time. The cast iron finish was actually for my Dad's valve amplifier but I kinda liked the colour so I kept spraying more...

All I did was give them a proper clean and remove them and paint them with hi temp caliper paint, didn't turn out to bad

Can't go wrong with that colour combo.

I do like that black look but maybe i light grey/white brand name. Subaru would look good

[livetolisten]

That is a very good idea.... I'll keep you posted
