My wife says she prefers black as psychologically they always look bigger, but I always have liked the look of red tbh:thumbs:

Go for Red and also put RS29 Yellow on the rears.

My personal choice would also be Red.

However, I got a brilliant (and mega cheap) set of Black ones for mine and they look alright :clown:

I run AP fast road pads up front (ok), but have a new set of RS29's sitting in the garage for td's and when the AP's run out.

Was considering this but need to find some decent caliper paint so it doesnt look tacky

Hammerite with a brush will be fine. Just thoroughly clean them first.

I've used this on loads of cars. Looks fine

red have addition layers of paint, unlike our black ones that soon discolour when used properly.

Just get the smooth variety. You only need a small tin, do thin coats and at least 3 coats. they look fine and last too.

Why limit your self to just red or black, we can do our kits in most paint codes.

Personally I like yellow
