I really like those. Care to expand on what you used (paint/colour) and where the decals are from.

Thanks.
You have PM

Apart from the matt black / dark grey I'm not keen, keep them silver and avoid warranty claim problems when they jam.

If your gonna paint them some bright lary colour you may as well use some of those stick onn plastic calliper covers from ebay to make them look like fake brembos.

Some joker at the end of the road has a 15 year old concerto or accord and I have to laugh because he's got himself some bling alloys and he's painted the callipers on the front bright red and he's painted the drums on the back to match.

right guys, thanks for all your help.

I'm not one to hang around on stuff so I've been and done them this weekend!

I went for red in the end and thought I'd post some pics up.

Actually, a wipe with the Oxo brush and they come up a treat!

I'd say 'like new' but they were a sort of zinc-passivated gold then.
