    Re: What color should I paint my calipers on a silver a6?

    Yellow looks really hot on silver. But silver, black, red, even bronze like the Brembo's on 350Z's.. Could look nice.

    @ Badwagon... About the Noggy, Mines close to that. Always take shit for blue calipers, but its whatever. I love it. Even if its on baby 2.8 brakes, LOL.


    you could be brave like I was..

    And not spray paint, I dont care what kind it is. 2 part real paint FTW. Buy paint, buy hardener(spelling?) mix accordingly and it will shine/hold up forever. OEM style.

    Re: What color should I paint my calipers on a silver a6?

    The blue is pretty nice too
    I'd like to see someone with red
    I'm curious to see how it looks
    I would do them yellow but I think it's a little bit of a clash on silver.

    Re: What color should I paint my calipers on a silver a6?

    Anything is better than rust colored

    I'm going to be painting mine black. I painted my Corrado and B5 A4 calipers red. They looked good for awhile but after a year or so they faded pretty bad and I was too lazy to redo them.

    Yellow was my second choice but there's already a C5 S6 the same color as mine with yellow / orange RS6 calipers.

    See, yellow is hot.

    @ChescoA4... hats why I used 2 part paint. It doesnt fade. My blue only has 15k on it, but a friend of mines Pontiac, which I painted the calipers red on, has 50k on the red paint. Still look fresh!
