Brake drums, What colour?

7th June 2005, 01:26

Going to paint my drums and calipers, ive got a poseidan blue saxo.

what colour does everyone have or any suggestions on colour.

I really fancy pink, its unusual but i think it might look nice but does anyone know where i can pink paint from?

i got advised to use hammerite paint, not sure if they do pink, but get a red tint and get a white tin and mix! ur own unique colour! pink wud b different i wudn thave it on mine but could look good!

That could work, its worth a try.

If it was up to me id paint the whole car pink, i can always do it and if it looks poo, just paint over it.

It may end up black, although i think its danvtr_9 has got yellow ones that look wicked.

to be honest any colour will look good...i painted the ones on my blue zed blue but and gona do the ones on my saxo silver i think!
a tin of hammerite will only cost about 4 quid so if its looks crap u can always try a different colour!

blue and yellow go together. mine is a red saxo so i've used baby blue colour mixed with glitter for mine. looks propa sweet, and stands out more then the standard blue colours, unique aswell

ooooh, glitter, another good idea !!

defo Yellow .. Looks great on blue saxos

7th June 2005, 04:07

yellow or red, c if theres any otehr bright colours,ive got mine red, but thats the only colour i think wud suit my car. not sure about the glitter tho! i think yellows a good colour

why not do it the same colour as your car?

7th June 2005, 19:53

go for yellow

that looks the best on posi blue saxos imo

I am going to do mine this week, got the paint, i got a golden yellow colour should look nice!

7th June 2005, 22:37

I think there going to be yellow, as much as i love pink i cant get hold of the paint.

7th June 2005, 22:43

sorry fot the thread hyjack but wat wud u guys recommend for silver saxos?

7th June 2005, 22:48

Only jokin!!!

Either silver, but i dont think ur wheels wud stand out as much,

Black, will be subtle and not stand out, but i think blue, would look best.

Do u agree with yellow 4 mine?

7th June 2005, 22:49

yeh i do i mite do mine blue

7th June 2005, 22:51

7th June 2005, 22:53

7th June 2005, 22:56

lol smash them off! cant u get a new nut?! wot happens if u get a flat in the middle of no where!

7th June 2005, 23:01

so how big a job is it too clean the calipers ? and what could you use?

7th June 2005, 23:07

im screwed if i get a flat! yeah prob can just get a new nut but i seriously end up loosing everything! such a weird shape aswell

Its easy 2 clean the calipers, wire brush them and sand them, then use a solvent based brake cleaning fluid, let it all dry off and apply paint!
