Was working from home today, and had all my cases finished by lunchtime. It was a bright sunny day - still cold, though - so I decided to paint my calipers and hubs.
Here are the results.
Front offside - before

Whilst the wheels are off I'll be cleaning them inside n out
Just to clarify, what paint have you guys all used? Assuming High temp paint is required for the calipers and not just hammerite standard paint?
Need to do this when the weather brightens up and I refill my trolley-jack... AITP is going to have an array of multi-coloured calipers this year!
An upside is the drilled / grooved discs you have are awesome....
I nearly went with them myself
A tin of Hammerite costs £8.99.Well, I'm really lucky, but, skint.....lol
And a good 1" brush is about £4.
And a cr@p 1" brush from the wife's craft box is free.
Dude, your wife has a craft box?
This. Don't tell her.I tried to clean mine for about 10 seconds, then threw it away!!!
Just looking at this... Where people have painted the sides of the hubs... Am I right in saying that part is NOT changed when the disks are changed? Or will these need repainting everytime you get new discs?
No, the bell is normally part of the disc.
Okay thanks that makes sense
I assume it would be the same design for a 58 plate S3?
I imagine so, yes. It's pretty much the norm for brake disc design.
