You cannot go wrong painting your calipers - use heat resistant paint.

Really, by the time the dirt and brake dust have done their work no-one will see that it all ran and blobbed.

As above mate this has got to be the easiest mod you can do yourself just make sure they are clean and dry before your start, i used red engine laquer and even picked out the 4 pot subaru in black engine
found a place to get stickers so the rear 2 pots can have subaru on them aswell so front and back match

If they are cream crackered by the way Ian at Godspeed will send you some refurbed and repainted ones on exchange.... just in case that work needs doing anyway.

As above. If they are off the car, blast them with some brake cleaner and away you go. I found it needed patience though, as multiple coats were required!

Hi Nick,

To save taking them off the car etc a local bodyshop will be able to do them for you.

Easy enough to do yourself too though.
