    Lightbulb What colour to paint the brake hubs + calipers???

    Hi guys

    I've been playing with the idea of painting my brake hubs & calipers, but haven't been able to settle on a colour. Im choosing between blue, black, and gold, and i have white rims.

    Here's a pic of my car:



    I'm sure you guys can imagine what blue and black would like, but as far as gold, here's a pic I've found of gold brakes with white rims (even though it's not a Honda):



    Here's the closest pics I've been able to make using modifymycar.com of a honda looking as close as possible to mine, with the 3 varieties of caliper colour:




    What colour do you guys reckon I should go with?
    Also, if anyone can do a photoshop edit of my car with gold coloured brakes n calipers, that would be awesome.

    Cheers

    Yea...they're stockies. Thing is, its the rear hubs that are my biggest headache...as the hubs have that crap rust colour on them which ruins the contrast with the white rims.

    I've tried cleaning the rust off them but it comes back in next to no time, so the solution is to spray over, and to make it nice n colour coded...spray the calipers too.

    RED!! red is for racing!

    do you have drum brakes on the rear? don't paint the drums if you do.. not a great look.

    I personally would prefer to keep them clean, but there is no problem with painting them either.

    I think black would go pretty nice
