fitting brembo 4 pot brakes to her ladies vrs, what colour should i paint them

[PastyBoy]

I've got 90% of a tin of "Skoda Green" hammerite smooth if i go for the obvious choice

[N 5 0 VRS]

Correct me if i'm wrong but it's a Skoda so erm.....GREEN!!! :confused:

I hate any other colour brake calipers on a Skoda, why the newer models have Red calipers is beyond me.

So IMHO you have to paint your Brembos GREEN and absolutely nothing else! :(

[Badger Driver]

green it is , they are blue atm, so off to shot blasters, get them on she should stop then

[Addis]

what colours your fabia?

[Badger Driver]

silver

[yegnold]

Green.

[devonutopia]

I'm refurbing mine soon, but they still be staying red for sure. Apparently there is a hammerite which is a really close match to the original red, so will probably end up using that. Depends how bad the original paint is once I get all the flaking lacquer off.

[Addis]

so its a silver fabia with black wheels?!

yellow gets my vote

[Stu_pot]

Actually i agree there a silver car with black wheels would look great with yellow calipers. just my personal opinion. But then it is common knowledge i have no taste!

good taste,

i just thought it'd be different and quite quirky!

IMHO if you change your brake callipers then paint them OEM Green. However if they are made by Brembo I would paint them Red. Brembos should be always Red.

My father is going to have some OEM brake callipers refurbished for his Green Subaru Impreza. I/He was thinking of painting them, I don't know what colour to paint them, Red Green or Black. If he buys Green paint then I could use the spare stuff for my callipers, but I don't know how well it would go with a Green car.

Anyone any suggestions?

YELLOW, it's a Skoda not a flaming Lamborghini :thumbdwn:

Hmm Yellow brake calipers, Green on all the Skoda badges, Green dash light illumination... FAIL!

I've got a suggestion, how about re-painting them the same colour they already are.

Whichever colour Subaru intended them to be...tut tut

If its just the laquer then a quick dust off and re laquer will bring them back up a nice shiny red.

IMO brembos dont suit green, been there :eek:

:iagree:

Brembos should always be red. Silver car, black wheels, and red calipers…

[jasc1988]

red

was gonna say the exact same thing.

as for the OP i'd be torn between green and red, seems wrong for brembo's to not be red but at the same time green calipers are a skoda thing so would probably opt for that.

Black ya bas!

On that age of car/model, the OEM callipers were left unpainted. I am not sure with the later models or imports (WRX's, STI's, etc.) they were painted by the factory, so hence that's why I was asking.

Sorry for going slightly off-topic!
