Car is only 5 months old, callipers faded to grotty green already. Put it down to using Alloy Wheel Cleaner - good for cleaning wheels, bad for callipers.
Solution - one tin of hot black, one tin of hot white and two boring hours. Think it was worth it though

(Glad I'm not the only one who did'nt spot the jack handle - talk about 'ministry of crap design'....)
cheers

Buggar!
Just changed my brake pads today and started to use the piddly screwdriver...
Normally I'd use a 2 ton hydraulic car jack, 2 jerks and it's all over ;-)
Nice caliper paint job. I think i should spend some time doing mine as they look far wors than yours did.
