Painting Calipers

[330ciSport]

Both my front and rear calipers are looking rather sorry for themselves! Went into my friendly bodyshop to see about getting them laquered and they recommended that I simply brush the calipers down with a wire brush and touch them up with some caliper paint.

Has anyone attempted this and if so, what paint did you use?

Thanks.

I did this on my old E36, and I got the paint from Halfords. Not a big job.

Bought the stuff from Halfords...the brush and a 3 step process for painting the callipers.

A friend at a garage did it for me..he actually took the callipers of the car...and painted them...looks much cleaner! :p

painted them black...

was thinking between red and black..but realized don't really have some huge brakes to show off...so black to cover up the rust!
