Yellow brake calliper painting

Yellow is the highest-visibility calliper colour, so it deserves a spotless surface underneath. At Crown Road each calliper is degreased, treated for rust, primed and finished in heat-resistant yellow. Over 1,400 customers have left us a five-star Trustpilot review, and a photo of your callipers is all we need to quote.

How your callipers are painted

Every step happens in our own workshop, and the whole job is covered by our brake calliper painting service.

The calliper is degreased so

The calliper is degreased so the paint has a clean surface to grip.

Any surface rust is treated

Any surface rust is treated before anything goes on top.

Pads, pistons and contact surfaces

Pads, pistons and contact surfaces are masked, so only the calliper body takes the colour.

How we get the exact yellow

Yellow is not one colour. It runs from pale lemon through bright signal yellow to deeper golden tones, and a shade that looks right on a swatch can look different through a set of spokes. Send a paint code if you have one, or a clear daylight photo of the yellow you want to match. We work from that reference, so we match your chosen shade as faithfully as the reference allows.

How yellow looks once it's done

In daylight Yellow is very bright behind dark wheels and loud on most paint colours, so it gets noticed straight away.

With brake dust

Dark dust settles on every calliper, and against yellow it shows up clearly, which makes it easy to tell when the wheels need a wash.

Next to your paint

On a dark car the yellow stands apart from the body. On a pale or bright car it becomes a second strong colour, so a photo of the whole car helps us talk it through.

Dropping off and paying

Send your photos by WhatsApp, form or email and we reply with a price and what the job involves. When you are happy, you book the car in at Crown Road, and you pay once the work is finished by cash, card or bank transfer.

Questions about the yellow process

Which wheel colours suit yellow callipers?

Black and gunmetal wheels make yellow the brightest thing behind the spokes. Send a photo of your wheels and we'll talk through the shade.

Can I add yellow callipers while my wheels are in for refurbishment?

Yes. Send photos of the wheels and the callipers together and you receive one quote for both. One workshop handles all of it.

Can you paint over callipers that are already coloured?

Yes. The old colour is cleaned and primed over, so it will not show through the yellow. Tell us the colour they are now and the yellow you want, and include both in your photos.
