I painted my calipers yesterday. Brought two new front calipers and had them fitted, so part of the front and the rears looked a bit rubbish. Had a savage caliper kit in silver in the garage which I've had for a while now, so it prompted me to do it.

You get cleaner, a brush and the paint(with hardener) with the kit.

I used a bit of sandpaper as well. Sanded down, wiped the dust off, used the cleaner and once dried, painted the caliper. Took about 30-45 mins per corner, including giving the alloys and wheel arches a good clean.

I replaced my front disks and brake pads today with new, cleaned the calipers and painted them in Matt black heat dispersant paint, they look fine. Most time was taken drilling the two retaining screws out of the disks, right PITA. Otherwise easy job
