Painted Brake Calipers - Golden - Updated Pics

[benv6]

Hi All



I have just completed painting my brake calipers and went for gold, used E-TECH !!

I am still not too sure 100% so it might change, I thought the golden colour would be a bit discreet compared to the BLUE and the RED is a no no for me.

Let me know what do you guys think

The gold works for me

Jesus wept, you've not painted the pads as well I hope

I like the contrast - any close up pics?

Looks great with black or blue car. Not sure about other colors. I have been looking at caliper covers as opposed to painting them - which inevitably will need re application. Anybody try covers instead??

I do like the colour, I personally think it goes well with black. I actually painted my sons 325i calipers gold as well

Gold looks good on he car. Default colour is blue for M sport brakes so you could mimic that . But the contrast looks good.

I like Gold, went through that phase.
Very industrial, looks like Cadmium plating.
