My current German has the blue calipers as part of the M Sport Plus package. They are blue with the plus package regardless of what colour car you choose.  Still undecided about them.  :-\

Seconded, as luck would have it I've just bought some brand new rear calipers from the Amazon clearout thread, hadn't thought about painting them...

If you must have a brand, Wurth wheel paint is good and matches the wheel. Expensive though.

I thought that too but had two tins delivered directly from Wurth IE today for the princely sum of €20 ( £16.80 ) + post ...Bargain as it is the best wheel paint to use .

I painted the calipers on my Omega using gold Smoothrite . It's been on for years and with a quick wipe with a rag and some APC they come up like new .

It's just paint!  And aerosols are such an expensive way of buying it. About 18 months ago, I painted four 16" steel wheels from black to Grey Aluminium(Ral 9007 if you must know) which is a common wheel colour using about half of the 1/4 litre of paint he bought. I already had the thinners, clear, and hardener but it was less than £15 worth of materials.

I went red for my c280 as it was a nice azurite blue

My v70 was dark olive pearl so went with a gold paint

Go for a dark colour, black or anthracite on a silver car

But, doesnt this look good.

WOW those Volvo calipers look fantastic  :y. Excellent job  :y :y :) :)
