If you want a smooth finish remember preperation is the key :)

Sand them right down or as said get a good wire brush on them before painting!

Should take about 3 coats, very easy to do just dont rush!

It is also possible to do this without removing the caliper just dont get any paint on the disc or pads...

[woodsy]

i did mine wthout removing them

bit fiddly but got the pads out so made it easier

just buy the colour of your choice and aslong as its hammerite direct to rust then it will be ok
