Hi m8
I do mine in Hammerite smooth. Stops them rusting & looking crap. Just be careful round the discs and clips.

I have used hammerite smooth also on my MY00 Four pots. I gave the calipers a good going over with a wire brush prior to painting them. Even with the high temps with braking the paint is still there.

Use heat prof paint and the paint will hold on the calipers

Halfords actually do a paint kit for calipers, did mine 2 years ago and still look as good as the day they were done.

You can use a proper kit if you're flush. I did mine with Engine laquer in red. 30000 miles later, I've had to touch up parts of it.
Cheap at abt £4 a tin.
Godspeed use a fairly standard automotive paint (Ian says) and their kits look the biz. Use something you can get easily again so that if any does come off, you can repaint the same colour.

Hammerite Smooth on mine too. Also used a wire brush on them first.

hammerite smooth is the best by far... just done mine in black with white 'subaru' lettering. complete nightmare to get the 'suabru' lettering right, but well worth it.

As Liteboy said before,i have also used the Halfords stuff.
works excellent and it's also pretty cheap,i had enough to do the front and back with enough left for a touch up in the future if required.(painted for about 18 months and still looking good).
