What colour would you paint the brake calipers (or have painted), with your Astra H being silver in colour?

Normally I would say wither red or blue

On any silver coloured car, I'd go either red (darker shade of red looks best like HSV callipers) or silver like the car !!! red callipers will look good on any coloured car.

I've seen examples of both red and silver callipers on silver cars and it looks very nice :)

Also seen gold, they look good on darker coloured cars IMHO...

on our AH - we painted our brakes gloss black :)

looks hot - its not too much - i reckon red might be a bit too much on a silver car... :)

just make sure you've prepped it well!!! cans and cans and cans of brake cleaner! :)
