    Brake Caliper paint

    Hi Folks,

    I could you a bit of help,

    As I am getting some new disc and braided hoses, I figure I might as well clean and service my front brake calipers.

    I want to paint them as well.

    I have looked on fleabay and there are some paints available.

    Now to my question.....

    Do any of you have a recomendation as to which paint to use?

    And what would be the best way to prepare the calipers before painting them?

    many thanks!

    Wouter

    If you want to keep it cheap and simple (I know you will !) - just wire brush, wipe off with cellulose and paint a couple of coats of normal black high temperature paint from Halfrauds or the like - will cost you about £5 and there is enough to paint all calipers and those rusty bits around the inner parts of the discs
