Calipers

So now I've got my new wheels, I've decided to do a big brake upgrade in the process - 325mm on the front and 294mm on the back. In order to do this I've had to get new calipers from a 330i and a 328i. These calipers are going to need a clean up and then painting.

I know that this is a well debated and all too often topic, but I'm starting to think about colour. I had always planned to go with anthracite, and I already have the paint for it. However, with the wheels in gunmetal and new drilled discs I'm wondering if the anthracite is all too similar and discrete. But also, should I want it to be discrete?

My alternate idea by the way would be gold, not bright red or bright blue or anything, just a conservative gold.

Anyone fancy putting their two pence in of what they would do?

Cheers
 
No reason why you been to bling in out... I'd go with anthracite. Also on the opposite side of the spectrum I've always liked red. But that's me :)
 
Thanks mate no I hadn't seen that thread before, interesting how you're never going to get a definitive answer because it's all down to personal taste in the end. I don't want it to look like it's trying too hard but I'm really leaning towards gold myself at the moment.

Differentiate! That's the perfect word to describe what I want to do, nothing too flash, just to differentiate between the discs and wheels. Can anyone recommend a decent paint? I hear often that it doesn't matter what paint you use, but if I go with gold I want to be a nice gold, almost like a champagne gold.
