Anyone painted their brakes gold?

[Max]

As above im in the process of rebuilding/refurbing my brakes and i want to paint them gold, has anyone on here done this and what was the result like?

I'm aiming for a light gold colour, no gloss, something subtle like this...


As opposed to this in your face...


Any recommendations?

Cheers

This was so long ago, I think I used hammerite.

i guess its like most paint choices its what you like and what look your going for , if you use a mat clear coat you will have the protection without the shine

The light gold ones look OK on our black 5G.
I agree that the over-bling ones should be avoided.

Wow that looks brilliant and exactly what I was going for, your level of OCD appeals to me haha I must have a proper look through your project thread, is there any chance you can find out exactly what you used?

Depends what I end up using but good call, I hadn't thought about using matt clear

Any pics of this and what you used?

Nice idea but goes a bit too far for me, that gold looks pretty good too though, what product did you use @Merlin ?

[Merlin]

Gold Hammerite.



This was gold VHT spray paint
