My corroded brake calipers....
.....were really annoying me, so spent around 3 hours yesterday sorting them. They previously looked like this...
and now they look like this... And a quick picture of one of the rear brakes. I did the job in situ, and just masked up the areas I didn't want to paint. I also painted the hubs as they were also looking tatty, so the car now looks spot on. With the wheels off, I also put some wheel wax on the inside of the rims so hopefully they'l be easier to clean next time. Not exactly the nicest way to spend a Friday evening, but not bad results for less than a tenner.

Yes, I used heat resistant paint. It's specifically designed to be used on brakes, so I hope it lives up to it's claims.
