Orange brake calliper painting

An orange calliper only looks sharp when the paint sits on a clean, rust-free surface. Every calliper is degreased, treated, primed and finished in heat-resistant orange at our Crown Road workshop, with the wheel off and the discs, pads and hoses masked off, and the job takes 24 hours. We have more than 1,400 five-star Trustpilot reviews, and your photo is all we need to quote.

Orange callipers on prestige and performance cars

Owners of prestige and performance cars often want the finish on a calliper to match the standard of everything around it. Our process does not change with the car. The preparation, priming and heat-resistant paint are the same, and the work is done in-house by the same team that refinishes wheels. The motoring YouTuber Shmee150 has filmed a video review of his wheels with us. Send photos of the callipers and of the whole car, along with the make and model, and we will tell you what the job involves.

How orange looks once it's done

In daylight Orange is bright and warm, on a par with yellow for visibility, so it is easy to spot through the wheel.

With brake dust

Grey dust shows on orange as it would on any colour, and a rinse when you wash the car keeps the paint clean.

Next to your paint

Against a pale body it adds a warm accent, and against a dark one it gives a bold contrast.

Questions about the orange process

Which wheel colours suit orange callipers?

Black and gunmetal wheels give orange its strongest backdrop, and against pale wheels it reads as a softer accent. Send a photo of your wheels and we'll talk it through.

Can I have orange callipers painted while my wheels are being refurbished?

Yes. Photograph the wheels and callipers together and ask for a combined price. Both jobs go through our workshop, so you deal with one team.

My callipers are already painted. Can you go over them?

Yes. Old paint is cleaned and primed before the orange is applied, so the previous colour will not show through. Mention the current colour in your message.
