Dunk Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Of course you can paint em. Aint you seen the caliper paint in halfords?? Just pop along to halfords and grab a tin that will suit your car colour and do your front calipers too. Make sure you brush any rust off first.

Matthew H Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 i did my drums with hammerite heat resistant spray from local paint merchants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumber60 Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 just pop into halfrauds and get some hammerite, you wont be needing heat resistant stuff for the drums anyway cos they never ever get hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackster Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I was thinking about painting mine this Saturday, not sure which colour to go for though, maybe just black or silver. Do you have to use a special kind of brush to clean the rust off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4TT Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 tid once told me black as it helps keep the brakes cool, so borrowed a tin of rob84, and use dit all on my capliers and drums and looks loads better. yup a wire brush is good thats what me used i think i need to get a nother tin and do another coat as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
