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 used Gold hammerite on mine some 12 years ago, still on there and no corrosion just wash down to get them looking new

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  . Excellent job
