What color to paint my calipers?

[Capt Crunch]

So I painted my calipers yellow and the paint is peeling. I've ordered a wire brush for my dremel in an attempt to do a better job this time. So should I paint my calipers yellow again?

Or paint them chrome? https://alsacorp.com/product/easy-chrome/

Also, any tips for prepping the calipers really well would be appreciated.

Blasting the old paint off would be the best way to prep the surface. If you are DIYing it, you need to scuff the surface with 400-600 grit sandpaper.

My advise would be to get them blasted and powdercoated for best durability. Thats what i did with my stoptech brakes on my E36 M3.
Colour is your choice. I chose Arancio borealis( Lambo orange) to match my roll cage and amber corner lights.

Yellow is perfect for your car in my opinion. I say keep it yellow!

+1 on this! I think chrome will get dirty super fast and lose the whole effect of the chrome! Just my 0.02 tho!

I like the yellow on your car, I would say just re-do it. Or screw it and go with paint-matched but they won’t pop nearly as much.

A little Verde Mantis is always a good look

VHT high temp paint and primer. All the peeling is on the hard to reach edges and creases of the caliper. I'm more inclined to think it's my fault rather than the products. I actually bought more for the second attempt.

BMW Performance BBK gold, I think the exact colour was Phoenix Yellow.

Do it right. Fully tear down and properly prep the surface. Have all seals replaced and powder coat the calipers.

Yellow or red would contrast well

I did it right at a reputable shop here in South Florida. Take a look at the yellow.

Rattle can work is sure to fail on this type of application. Invest in a compressor and HVLP gun.

Keep it yellow 👍🏽

Looks goldish yellow/mustard?
Could be lighting. Almost looks like factory CCB
