How easy is it to re-paint the calipers?Might consider re-doing all mine

 

Easy peezy.

Remove inc pads, clean, paint, refit,+ bleed brakes then add new decales from ebay:)

 

Just make sure you clamp off your brake pipes on the rubber hose to stop the brake fluid draining out!

Heat proof paint is best too.

 

good luck!

silver, show them of a bit and will go against your car/wheels nicely. Also go for hammerite smooth silver, £5.99 a tin, enough to do all 4, same as the other paint kit, but cheaper and proved to be long lasting:)

easy, do 1 wheel at a time, get a small ish brush, and just paint it slowly, inside the edges, around the back and use a 1" for a level finish on the main front part. Or you can open the callipers like i did to get every bit covered:) if your not to familiar with callipers, leave them closed, mask the discs of to:) try not to touch the brake pad as it will look a bit messy.

 

1 bolt at the bottom rear to open the calliper, when putting it back down use a rubber handled bar to push the piston back, and open the resivor just incase:)

 

have to strip mine down and paint again as my first go was messy
