I'm going to paint my calipers but unsure what colour best goes with blue body work?
Im thinking gloss black to go with the roof any suggestions?

Black is always a good choice of colour. Then you can sort out what colour peougeot stickers you want to put on the calipers

Well I've given the calipers 1 coat, not sure about the black tbh, but luckily before I started I did a quick Google on the jack points and discovered a few posts regarding bent jack points so had a look and found I've got 3 bent jack points, this made painting the calipers a little tricky.

I painted my calipers with Hammerite rust kill/inhibitor. Sprayed it into can cap then on with a 2 inch brush while my wheels were away being repainted. It dries to matt black and went over any other other parts that needed a brush off then touch over. My Anthracite grey wheels stand out well against a black background.

You can make the black callipers pop with the decals like the Verminator said.👍11BB57A7-2919-4FC1-91A5-F3FA574B403A.jpeg
