Hi all,
I'm going to paint the calipers on my silver VE shortly, but I'm not sure on the colour and I'd like some outside input. As said the car is silver, it's an SSV with the stock 19" SSV wheels. Being a silver car I don't want too bright a colour, I've used the VHT racing red before and it is too bright a red for my taste, especially with clear over it which I'll be doing again (makes it last far, far longer).
So, my options are: gloss black, or try to find a way of darkening the VHT red (maybe a coat of black before spraying the red?), or use a different brand. I do want to stick with the proper brake paint or maybe engine enamel. If I did use the VHT engine enamel, could I then spray the VHT brake caliper clear over it? For a bit more gloss and protection.
Cheers!
