Same.
In black, with a brush. I still need to do my rear ones as I had them refurbed last year & they're back to silver.

Yeah, they look bad in red. They're not Brembo's etc, so don't advertise them.

God, give me strength.
Re read what I wrote.

Anyway, do them black or silver.

Hammerite Smooth silver. I bet we could buy one small pot of it and send it around every member of this forum and return back with product left over. I bought one thinking no way am I going to have enough. Painted all 4 brakes with 2 nice, thick coats and it's used barely any of the tin.

When I get round to changing the brakes I think I'm going to sand back the calipers and spray them, the finish looks so much better.

I'm guessing they'll end up black.

I doubt it, im sure turinis have a wider offset, although i think theres a few variations.

Spray or brush in your guys opinions? Spray seems very messy, but brush leaves brush marks

Mine were blue. The previous owners choice. After a few track days they aren't very blue any more. The blue didn't look particularly awesome.

I sprayed mine, but only because they were off the car at the time.

Hmm unsure then! Might remove them from the disc, but not the car.

I need to paint mine to make it look smart. Was just going to brush black Hammerite them. I wouldn't go silver as surely they would end up covered in brake dust and then look crap again??

They're silver as standard so I can get away with a really light coating, they look fine just a little aged/faded and wanna get them perfect again.
