New pads

I just bought some new rear discs and original pads and was just wondering what the red and blue paint on them means/signifies?

Dunno.

Maybe the guy making them was testing out some colours to paint his calipers, and thought he would do the paint samples on your pads?

Sorry - no serious suggestions. Worth asking wherever you got them from?


Oli.
 
Port and starboard - for a colour blind matelot? Sorry, wasn't much use, I'll get my coat.
 
I've never seen that before either. Maybe some form of quality control for two types of inspections the pads go through?
 
Very odd indeed. The front pads i bought the other month didnt have any paint on them!! I seem to remember buying some pads for an old gti that had similar paint on them for some strange reason.
 
I can almost imagine two elderly Fraulein sitting at the end of the production line playing around with their nail varnish tubes as they put the brake pads in the boxes - 'zis vill give ze bl00dy forum users around ze world something to talk about heh heh heh :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:'
 
I had assumed, as with springs & tyres etc. the coloured markings are a quick means of identifying the spec in among thousands of parts the look superficially the same. They more than likely spend a lot of time being stored / moved around before they get boxed up.

Dunno why some are and some aren't, but I'd put that down to warehousing process.
