What colour calipers?

For Patsy's red PFL with black wheels.

I have a favourite in mind. Patsy's coming around to my idea but is not 100% convinced.

Suggestions?

@cptspaulding
On the basis that less is more, either Red as the bodywork, Black as the wheels or for contrast if wanted Silver.

[Call the midlife!]

When in doubt... blue...

[Ardent]

Black

[Gaz mr-s]

Red if you want to see them. Black if you don't.

As the wheels are black, would be red for me.

[Joesson]

Good to have a consensus!

Hmmm. My worry on red is if it differs too much from the bodywork it might clash like a bad match?

I guess HR paint has a limited choice of colours, but is it really necessary on a brake calliper?

Otherwise only three colours left to choose from!

Surely shading will make them look rather different, even if a perfect colour match? Go for a contrast, not a (near?) match.

Yellow will give pop and contrast

I always do mine red! My red GT86 is a different shade to the paint I used but you would never know, even before they get covered in brake dust.

I just brush on the paint and so its easy enough to do a second colour over the top if you really dont like the first colour!

Green.

I think there is enough separation/distance to be able to have some shade difference.

If you have a red car, yellow!

[shnazzle]

Yellow would look cool. And if you put EBC yellow stuff in.. Even better

Silver would make for a clean high-end look.
Or black to match the big black circles look

I'd avoid red. Look a bit naf on a red car in my opinion. Especially with black wheels.

[cptspaulding]

Interesting responses.

Most on black or red until gradually three came out & matched my own thoughts.

Yellow will give pop and contrast

That's what I thought. I also like the idea of silver.

Thanks for all your counsel, however Mrs Patsy is now considering leaving them as they are

We shall keep you posted should something ever be done about it

Black for me.

Being that its a pretty simple and cheap job to do you could try a couple of the colours you fancy (maybe just do one caliper) and see what you think looks best 👍

I'm voting a lighter shade of gold.
