Painting Calipers + Hubs Silver!? - Update With Pics

[welsh_Z]

Hi, looking to paint my calipers tomorrow morning and I'm thinking Silver. What's your opinion of painting the Hubs silver to match - Too much silver?

Thanks

I've done mine in satin silver, I think it looks nice.

No you can never have too much silver

No you can never have too much silver

O.K. It was in the winter and I wanted to see what it looked like after painting and I clashed the wheels on

Decided to do the hubs matt black with high temperature spray paint and used hammerite smooth silver on the calipers applied with a brush. Inner arches cleaned, wheels polished and waxed OCD style 8)

Before

Inner arches cleaned and sealed

Alloys cleaned front and back, polished then waxed
