Actually it's blue/violet but you have to paint the sliding surfaces of the piston itself as well. It's because the lower wavelength associated with the colour blue means blue things absorb lower frequency vibrations naturally, so when you're going over rough ground the low frequency vibration of the car going over the bumps is absorbed naturally by the blue, which means the pistons have a greater internal energy so that when you press the brake pedal this energy can be released rapidly, reducing the response time of the brakes and massively improving performance. It also apparently helps stop them squealing so much for similar reasons, but I've seen plenty of blue callipers that still squeal. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

A little darker, like you were just getting into auto-erotic asphyxiation but got it wrong and tied the noose around your helmet and hung from that instead. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |
