Can i also suggest painting the calipers red, makes a huge difference.

Yeah I'm definitely going to do this.
I still have red caliper paint left but what would be the best method for a nice finish, spray?

 

[Emz]

I'm not sure on the best method but i gave mine a good clean then gave them a couple of coats with hammerite and a paintbrush.

I will give that a try, just want them looking as OEM as possible and not looked like they are painted, but from a distance I guess you wouldn't notice.

Very nice Tyler! Red and black looks great. I hope you enjoy :thumbup:

Best way is always to spray - you get a better finish without brushstrokes. There is a recent thread on it -
