imo spraying them takes far too long in terms of preparation, i just painted them with hammerite and they have come out abosutely fine.

As said, use some heat resistant hammerite. Use a wire brush on the callipers to prep them and get rid of the crap, then use a fine paintbrush

Be better to take them off, that's what i did as i was changing to 266mm brakes anyway, but now they need touching up im just going to do them on the car. Less hassle that way.

Yeaaah im taking mine off to spray them as my brothers giving me some VTS brakes so they will all ready be off so it seems sensible to do them when he changes them. How many coats do you need to do to get a decent finish?

leave on car, good clean with wire brush and some thinners/cleaners, and just use hammerite with a brush, i've never used high temp but its never been a problem with just standard hammerite
