Brake drums, What colour?

  1. #1
    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

    sorry fot the thread hyjack but wat wud u guys recommend for silver saxos?
  14. #14
    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?

    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!
