Matt Have a look at @[deleted]'s build thread. He's put a fair bit of information in there about cleaning and painting the callipers.
carson_sri Cheers matt. Not looking forward to doing it but might aswell While the brakes are being changed. Should look good with new shiny parts tho.

Sjdickso Nice one, I did mine the other week, pity the rear caliper was sticking on with the broken handbrake and make the paint on the brake disc blister my word it got hot though lol
carson_sri cheers carl. i never went to extreme with them. i painted them on the car after a clean. they look aright. only thing is i got some paint on the pad. looks abit messy because of that.
