Hi everyone, just wondered if any one here had painted their brake calipers orange, if so can you post a picture for me, and what paint did you use?

Think there's quite a few people who have done this.

I got the paint of eBay, about £18 delivered iirc.

This is mine, to give you an idea (litlle grubby tho

)

Sorry for the stupid question, do you need to take the calipers completely off the car to paint them or can you just take the wheels off one at a time and sit there painting them (after they been cleaned) ?

Also, what do you think is the best colour to paint them on a Frozen White ST ? I was thinking white but then brake dust etc etc..

i just took the wheels off and done them that way, theres no need for the calipers to come off unless there being sprayed really.

forgot to say i used the etech kit, which has the brush and cleaner all in.

i think either red or blue on a white st!

Mine are already red, so they shouldnt need too much prep, I have a load of wire brushes from before.
