The Break Calipers on MY98 Terzo seem to have gone rusty especially the front ones.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend the best way to paint them and what sort of paint should be used.
Thanks.

I believe you can get brake caliper paint from the likes of Demon Tweeks, Ripspeed etc.

Don't let Adam Curtin know if you go for caliper lacquer though.

I have a suggestion. You can use 1200 degree engine paint. It is strong and can look really cool in the many colors it comes in. Be sure to take off the rust and then spray the calipers. (removed of course). Brakes can exceed 1200 degrees fairly easily, but I dont think the calipers themselves will exceed that. most heat transfer occurs at the disk and pads,so not to worry.
