Definately paint the calipers red.

[Roper]

just make sure you get all the loose rust (if there is any) off, and paint it wiv "hammer right", this way you dont need primer.

lee

[Predator_R32]

with caliper paint its sometime a 2 part or 1 part, 1 part is just the paint and 2 part is paint then laquer on top

theres no need for primer

get all the rust off with a wire brush, sand them down , wash them, then apply the paint a few layers should do it dont have to be very neat with it as the paint will go smooth once drying, then if you get laquer use it :y:

leave them for a good few days before using the car though as you will find the paint wont of fully hardened and will start to drip off the heat of the brakes, its a good idea to do it on a bank holiday weekend :y:

[Dan]

I say do them black or white or silver, definitely not red.

[chrismurra]
