you can get the paint from halfords mate think its £20 quid. just remove the wheel. use a wire brush to get all the shit off ya callipers and being to paint. do a full coat leave it to dry and do a second coat.

mike.... dont go to halfords and buy the 'brake callipers kit ' at a ridcolous £20-£25 price. Go to homebase buy a small can of hammerite paint, a wire brush and some white spirit ( about £10 in total )

All you do is unbolt your wheel nuts, pop the wheel off..... sand down the brake calliper * give it a good scrub with the wire brush * wash it off with some white spirit *keep brushing away * allow to dry or with a cloth of some sort....and paint away.. allow a good 2-3 hours to dry! 2 coats might be needed!!
