I am going to refurbish my brake calipers, which are currently black with white lettering and want to change the colour of the calipers for something a bit more current.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am going to refurbish my brake calipers, which are currently black with white lettering and want to change the colour of the calipers for something a bit more current. My car is an Arctic Silver 996 Targa and these are the colours I am considering : Let me know what would be your choice (I have not decided whether to spray or paint yet). Thanks

POST 2Original post

Red for me. If I was going to be radical then lime.

POST 4Original post

The cars that I’ve noticed recently with lime calipers have all been electric…… so I’d be steering well clear of that! I think red always looks great on a silver car

POST 5Original post

I stayed black but with silver lettering on my arctic silver car, i have boxster red interior and thought it would clash with bright red calipers.

POST 7Original post

Blue (with matching seatbelts)…unless you have a Nephrite interior!

POST 9Original post

I went for lava orange... it's my signature colour for calipers

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for all your responses. I really like the blue and also the aqua, but red is obviously the safer option. I will do another post once I have completed the job and reveal what I went for. Cheers

POST 13Original post

aqua for me .. I’ve always thought petronas F1 schemes were very classy I’m pretty boring , less is more type ..

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i finally got around to painting my brake calipers and as you can see I choose Aqua. I wanted something a bit different and really pleased with the way they look.
