I'm thinking of painting the calipers on my GPS red, but by me doing this will it void my warranty for the brakes. Has anyone else already done this, if so have you got any pictures?

i did mine today. I used halfords stuff. I also bought a halfords 1.5tonne bottle jack to do it with, it worked great and only cost a tenner. I still need to the the back 2 brakes, thats for tomorrow though.
What did you use to clean the caliper before painting it?

If you're under a car you shouldn't be relying on the jack - get a set of axle stands.
They're cheaper than 24x7 medical care when a car drops on you and puts you in a care home.

So how do I get the car onto axle stands in the first place then? Paul daniels magic kit??
i used alloy wheel cleaner and a wire brush to clean the brakes, halfords were all out of the specialist break cleaner. I didnt use axle stands, just used a bottle jack from halfords and did one wheel at a time, it took about 2 hours per wheel with drying times and then leave the whole car for 24 hours before driving!
