Brake caliper color
Hey Guys,
I am thinking of re-painting my brake calipers for awhile. But honestly, I don't know, what color should I choose.
My car is a pre-FL 2010 black W204 - saloon car, Avantgarde, no sport package (and the exterior is stock), stock 17" rims.
Most likely, everything would look better, than the actual dirty one.
I think the red would be too sporty for this car, and doesn't really match with the actual car image. But who knows.
My another idea would be some darker-gold tone.
Or standard white, or black. With these, I cannot fail that mutch
.
Do you have maybe any suggestions, or pictures about yours? So I can see the different colors on the car. Does it worth to make a DIY caliper painting? (I mean, is it durable?)
I know, the car won't be faster with this
. But as I've mentioned, everything is better, than the actual dirty-worn stock calipers.
Thank you!

Here is my rules on painting calipers, yours may be different:
1. Paint calipers the same colour as the car. I do this with BBKs (such as Brembos) or plain calipers as i like the colour match.
2. Silver or black. Painting stock brake systems a flashy colour just brings attention to them that’s not needed or wanted.
