Blue brake calliper painting

Choosing blue callipers comes down to how they'll look behind your wheels and how much upkeep you're happy with. Both are answered below, along with what we need from you to quote. WhatsApp a photo of your callipers and we'll reply with a price within 24 hours.

How do I keep blue callipers looking fresh?

Brake dust is dark grey and settles on the calliper every time you brake, so a mid or pale blue starts to look dull long before the paint itself has aged. Each time you wash the car, clean the calliper with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and a soft, long-reach brush that fits through the spokes. After gritted winter roads, hose the salt off before it sits on the calliper body. While you're down there, look for stone chips or bare spots in the blue, as a small mark caught early is easier to put right. Darker navy shades hide dust for longer between washes.

Within 24 hours of your photos arriving, we reply with a price and what the job involves. If you're happy, we agree a date and you drop the car at Crown Road. Every calliper is degreased, any surface rust is treated, and it's primed before the heat-resistant blue paint goes on, with the pads and pistons masked throughout. You pay on completion by cash, card or bank transfer, and our satisfaction guarantee covers the work. More on our brake calliper painting service.

Still deciding on blue callipers?

What photos do you need for a calliper quote?

Turn the front wheel to full lock and take one shot of the calliper close up, then one of the whole wheel. The close-up shows us any rust or flaking, and the wider shot shows the wheel colour your callipers will sit behind.

Is blue a subtle or a bold choice?

That depends on the wheels in front of it. Behind silver or grey spokes it looks calm and fairly understated, while behind black wheels it stands out strongly. A deep navy keeps things low-key whatever colour your wheels are.

Do you paint callipers on vans and commercial vehicles?

Yes. We work on personal and commercial vehicles, with competitive bulk rates for trade and fleet customers. Our trade and fleet page has more on working with us.
