GP Red Painted Brake Calipers

Hello everyone, just a quick post to show off my brake calipers that i have finally got around to painting red!

Really happy with the result, didn't take too long either which is a result! Will add more pictures of the full car with new fiat badges and red calipers etc once i've got round to cleaning it!

Re: GP Red Painted Brake Calipers

Are my eyes playing up again or are those alloys white?

Your eyes are not playing up... they are white

Fiat had to recondition them for me as the original silver ones were cracking inside so i asked them to recondition them in white as i was going to originally buy the white O.Z alloys... obviously i no longer need to do that!

Hammerite in my experience is the good stuff. Keeps off brake dust better than ordinary caliper paint. Harder wearing aswell etc.

That GP would be twice the car lowered.

Re: GP Red Painted Brake Calipers

Cheers for the comment mate but I've now heard the same one about a million times on here... getting a bit repetitive now... i actually think the same people are commenting with the same thing more than once!

The "shopping list" is there because i like it, it's just personal taste i suppose... alot of people on here have done stuff to their cars which i find hideous lol
