Having a Nubby blue myself, I've painted my calipers blue. Looks good to me.

Black...or Silver...no Black ....I can never make up my mind so have left them as faded OEM and brake dust but think I'd go for a high gloss silver that would trap less dust - black can look like a bit's missing from the disc

I also have a Nurby with blue calipers.
Mine stand out more as I have white wheels, well dark grey as they don't stay clean long.

I assume to those of you that used the hammerite stuff that you didn't remove the calipers to paint them?

I didn't remove the calipers, just the wheels

OP stated that he has a problem doing it himself as he is physically unable.
But you mate, you can do a bit of fun DIY, just google & youtube 'how to paint your calippers' and you 'll find plenty of info.

It is not hard even if you are not good with the spanner.

Careful, I'm not saying completely removing the calipers! You can paint them on the wheels and do a really good job as well!

Japcrap, have a google around this, it is good fun! and you don't need to remove the calipers!
Not hard at all, just need a bit of patience as it takes time to dry, do a second coat etc.
