Technical Calipers - To paint or not to paint?

[Hellcat]

Do I paint my calipers red (to match centre caps and red sedici line) in time for Brooklands? They're under anthracite original wheels so they're not going to be too obvious.

Opinions please people!

More importantly - Do I change the door seals before I go? They're a bit tatty around the bottom of the door.

no only paint silver

Why silver? There's nowt silver in the wheel arches.. Black brake discs, black wheels etc.. I'd be after some dark red :devil: rather than typical bright red

red is chav, do um black then

I think a photochop is in order.. or just get buying the paint. Calipers are pretty clean - just need a quick spray down with brake cleaner.

Paint - but only if you do it properly - or it will look sh....!!

Did a reasonable job last time..

Want a darker red though.

I think they look good but just a touch darker/deeper red like you say.
A definate yes to the door seals though! Sorry, I'm sure it'll be a pain but it'll be one of those touches that will make a LOT of difference to the overall quality/feel of the car. Oh yeah, what's Photochop?!
