I'd say paint them red. I bought a paint and hardener kit from Halfords was 20 quid, you can also use engine paint or hammerite these will be the cheapest option.

Heres mine

Black or silver.

Hammerite does the job well, as Jarvista said above.

Theres a 'how-to' in the Stilo section, just have a search for it.

Re: Black punto, what colour Capillars?

Ive always thought yellow went quite nicely with black.............red goes with everything........depends how much you want to show off those meaty calipers!

Re: Black punto, what colour Capillars?

m8 i had a black punto modded and i painted them black along with the drums and they looked mint.bit of advice take your time preparing the calipers and the drums (wire brush and cleaner) because they look **** when they have been rushed and you wont be happy with them(trust me i had to do mine again) hope this helps

Re: Black punto, what colour Capillars?

no offense, but I reckon gold - I reckon that'd look ace. A black motor bike on GTA san andreas with silver alloys + gold brake callipers looks great! + makes it look more expensive I reckon.

Trust me - you know it makes sense.

Whats wrong with painting your drums?! Ones on my diesel are massive!

Re: Black punto, what colour Capillars?

I gotta agree with Red or yellow, the gold looks cool just a little too bling bling for me.

Wolfrace has got a point, the VRS calipers look mint in green (no pun intended )
