Caliper colour for silver body?

nicktyler · 04-04-2012, 07:13 AM

Hi Guys

I am thinking I will paint my calipers as they are starting to look a little tired. What are your thoughts and any photos of a silver E92 with painted calipers?

Cheers

Nick

Hi Nick,

I've got a silver E92 too and I was toying with the idea of black hubs and black calipers, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

Hopefully you will get some picture responses so you can weigh up your options.

Cheers,
Steve

I have a TiAg E90 and I painted the calipers and hubs black w/ G2 paint. Came out sweet!

Would I be correct in thinking that TiAg means Titanium Silver. If memory serves they are the element values on the periodic table. Its been a few years since I was at school.

I think your right on the TiAg thing and also I was thinking about gloss black.

I'm not sure one of the usual colours might be a bit lary and try hard on stock calipers.

OEM colour is best
Black is great for not having to worry about cleaning mind you

I think I will go with black.

I had also considered yellow or red but it might be too much with stock calipers.

Any pictures?
