Brake Caliper painting
Having removed and cleaned up my rear caliper I am a little stuck with what paint to use and what preperation is best.
Up to now they have been keyed up and all the bare metal surfaces polished and I will be looking at doing the fronts also.
I know Halfords do a caliper paint but I have heard bad things somim on the hunt for a recommendation.
Any ideas?

I used this stuff, works a treat when prep is done properly

Pretty much.
It's best to bake it properly in an oven though, does it properly instead of relying on heat from braking
