(S) painting brake calipers

Has anybody pained there brake calipers because there is some rust showing on mine and I was looking at getting them painted red.

Thanks

i have rust on my rear drums. cant see the calipers atm, stupid 15" steelies.

wheeld getting changed in 2 weeks so im gonna do mine then!


EDIT:

oh and do it yourself! tin of hammerite, thin coats to build up a finish, and will also resist brake dust.

venomco has done this with custom abarth logos and it looks sweeet

sounds good to me, i have ordered a sporting in new orleans blue and i;m gonna do mine either red or might see what silver looks like but its a good idea. seen them on the astra vxr in in blue with red calipers looks ace.

lol there's my name again.

Yeah Hammerite is the only way to go, resists rust and brake dust

It was easy to do, got all i needed from halfords, including a jack. Took two coats each wheel with great results.

Here's some pics to show you.

Yeah my rear drums have rust on them too, I was gonna do them in silver hammerite and I was going to use red hammerite for the brake calipers. Is it a hard job to do?

tut tut tut, wheres your axel stand venomco

havnt tried it yet, but if you beat me to it, PM me or write up a guide, would be really helpfull!

I feel so guilty lol.

But seriously, it broke

Matty, it's not too hard, aslong as you have someone on hand to serve you a cup of tea / coffee. Its just the waiting thats painful, or buy 4 axle stands and do all the wheels at the same time.

lol as said very risky .such a nice car but i wouldnt want it blended into my head
next time at least put the wheel under the car but no subsitute for safe practices

theres a guide in the stilo section

lol your avatar says it too well

ahhh, thats okay then. well, just get a new one before somebody else bites your head off

im getting the new wheels fitted for free when the cars lifted with a garage lift thingy

so hopefully ill do it then

too late

lol, 3rd strike and i'm out

Wouldnt there be any warranty issues? Ie i'm sure if you had problems with callipers fiat would say it was because of paint contaminations.
