I should get my car back in a week and i want a to paint the calipers as soon as it gets back, I am just after your opinion on what colour i should paint them.
My car is a MKII ZS 180 in black with the standard sword alloys on.

Thanks for voting

Green with a tint of yellow to brighten the paint up a little to try and imitate Xpower Green

Black and red always looks ace IMO, so I'll say red. Got some red paint for mine too, but havent had the weather to apply it yet.

Looks like it will have to be x-power green then.
Does anyone know where i can get the best matched colour from and also the paint code.
