Brake Caliper Paint
But i am torn between gunmetal grey or gloss black ... i think the grey will look nice and subtle , but they were obviously blakc to begin with ... Under no circumstances will i be painting them red , blue or any other lairy colour ....  Opinions please ?

I used hammerite black and went on quite smooth, and lasted for well over 60k miles.
