Brake calipers colour

[Craker]

I'm getting slotted rotors and red stuff pads fitted by my local brake place and due to a mix up on there part he has offered to paint my calipers and non contact areaof my disk to prevent corrosion at no charge. He said I can have any colour I want. I was leaning towards red but would the back of the red stuff pads being red look silly. Any suggestions, it's getting done tomorrow.

red never looks silly

I would paint the disc silver to blend in.

The discs are very popular painted red. You should not see the back of the pads as there is a metal shim that sits behind them.

If I was you I would get different pads. There are better options around at a cheaper price plus they are too hard for street and won't brake very well when cold which is most of the time.

Pick a different color.. every man and his dog has red these days!
Yes me included, but mine are stock!

Go blue to match the car, it will standout with the paint of your car.
Silver
Black
Yellow
these dont look to bad either and are less common!

Black Would look good if the back of the pads are red

Black or Blue would go really well with your car colour mate.

Red's nice, but it's too mainstream these days.

I agree with Marc. Go with black. I think it would look good.
