It`s much better than the heavily rusted look they have at the moment STMO  ;)
They should blend in nicely then. ;D

Just how hot do you think the caliper gets? Or you could test one with  an infra-red thermometer which is a fairly handy thing to have anyway.
Hammerite works fine on engines, even around the exhaust ports on OHV engines which get much hotter.

Chavs, chavs, chavs. Who'd have thunk it? Fat, middle aged men painting the calipers on their fat, middle aged cars. ;D

Some of us weren't middle aged when we first painted brake calipers!

Possibly, but most on here weren't brought up on calipers. Painted drums anyone?  ;D

I've never been tempted to do anything like. Gives the wrong impression when you chop it in/sell it.
