Right, opinion time!!
Have decided to colour my calipers and drums, but not sure what colour to do them. My car is Rio Verde if that helps.
Cheers guys.

Would bother mate, coloured caliper and drums look tacky imo. If you gonna might aswell be a dark colour so it doesn't stand out loads

Hmm, gold, never thought of that.
Luca - Rio Verde is a dark pearlescent green.

Either caliper paint(bit pricey, but guaranteed up to 900degrees!) or I have also been told hammerite will do the job, as it's also pretty good with heat.

I have a Bright silver paint on my drums and calipers, used hammerite. Got a good finish and it looks smart, go 6 spokes so you see everything.

Just until it is touch dry, dont drive it over night if you can help it though to let it set.
