hey guys

ive had my corsa c brake calipers and drums done in silver but i need to re do the drums as i didnt leave long enough for them to dry and they have cracked and look alright from a distance but when you get up close they are prickly n dont look as good.

im wanting to re-do the calipers and drums any ideas on what colours? i have silver alloys and my car is petrol blue?

opinions and advice would be great someone has said to me maybe have black?

thanks

Alls you need to do mate is take ya wheels off put the car on axle stands and paint them (you can use hammerite or propa stuff makes no difference) once done put your wheels back on remove axle stands jobs a goodun!

Repeat for the front!:thumbs:

p.s. you can take the front calipers apart to paint for that neater finish as you can get to all the parts easily! :thumbs:

get gold ones, i think gold looks good with ultra blue.
