This might seem a really basic question, but I wanted to get at least some of the little details right. If I'm aiming for the Healey mark 3
lookalike, what colour should the brake calipers be? I'm thinking a dark grey colour, getting them blending into the background rather than
bringing them out with a red or yellow. I wasn't sure whether black was an appropriate colour either.
I can't really tell from online pictures what colour they should be (and I'm not even sure whether Healeys even had disc brakes!!)
I like silver myself, looks nice and clean but not in your face like red etc
Don't know about Healeys, but modern tintop calipers (I think) are usually something like a Zinc and clear passivate finish to avoid corrosion. Seems to be fancier cars (and calipers) that are finished in a gaudy red or yellow.
If your going OE look then bare metal.
What colour car and style/colour of wheel?
Brighter colors are also a 817ch to keep clean...
But if you fancy cleaning them every now and then, then, thatīs OK.

They need to be painted/coated in something IMO,bare metal even lacquered looks like you couldn't be bothered!
