I've read through this thread 2 or 3 times with the aim of getting some inspiration as to the colour I could do my callipers. I'm no nearer a decision now than I was before I began reading, so can I ask for some ideas. As you can see I'm white with black roof and wheels. I'm leaning towards red or blue however indecision and dithering aren't helping. Please help a confused and embarrassed old man. Thanks :dizzy: :dizzy:

Confused and Embarassed ???
You drive a Zed !!
Shoulders back!
Head held high !

Old ?
Sorry - I can't help you there. :cry:

Actually I put alot of thought into the colour.
Actually was considering copper or gold.
But the ones I actually saw on a car, looked "rusty".

Plus there is BMW Traditions to be cognizant of.
That bring blue into the mix.

Once you have done the initial paint prep it's easy to try a colour and evaluate.
I'm thinking with the black wheels, an accent bright colour draw attention to your wheels.

Should have posted these earlier but completed this little task about 3 weeks ago. Happy with the results and still looks good now.

Embarrassed because I’m unable to make a clear cut decision, but I believe the decision has been found, RED they shall be...........brush or spray..????

Photos of the wheels will be up soon, hopefully RED will do as suggested :D

Gave the calipers a lick of paint. Thought they looked a bit drab sitting behind my new BBS rims.
New discs next I guess.
