Painting brake calipers

[mazfg]

As part of my overhaul, I want to clean up and paint my calipers.  Finish isn't too important, just don't want that rust look to be on them. Thought about black hammerite, would this ne up to the job (although will actually be using smoothrite)

I have painted calipers on my XJ8 and I used special Caliper paint. But as usual good prep work pays off, make sure you get as much junk off as you can and get back down to the metal, then paint away :) My Herald's Calipers and rear drums match nicely and are painted red.  8)

i used hammerite, give 2 coats first light as it gose tacky put a thick coate on, that rollable type, not as good as the old hammerite, i did sand blast em first

i used halfords high temp paint on the last pair of calipers i rebuilt.

Use hammertie its miles cheaper than caliper paint and i have always got a good finish whether i rub them down or not plus there is more of a selection of colours or mix your own!!!
Attached a picture of mine i apologise this is not a triumph!!

No need to go to any thing fancy, just use a good quality ..Trade.. gloss, Macs, Johnstones, ect, but trade, as its diff frae DIY.  
the calipers do not get hot enough to warrant any thing fancy.  
Infact, my engines , for the last 30 odd years have only been painted with ordinary gloss.
