Hi, just after some advice. My focus callipers are a little rusty. I want to get them painted, now is it easy enough to do yourself or should I take them to a garage that offers this service? Many thanks

Pretty straight forward to do yourself, plenty of youtube videos out there like this one

You could save quite a bit of money doing it yourself.

OK cheers pal

Easy job. I painted mine a nice red ;)

Hammerite works as well as any caliper paint so no need to buy over expensive stuff

I used Halfords tin of caliper paint before but it's quite watery I don't recommend it

Spray can is much better and faster 👍

mask area with newspapers and take.

I also used a tin of Hammerite Smooth Finish not hammers finish silver paint and brushed it on to read drums aswell as the spacer section of the discs 👌

Later had upgrade direct replacement discs and pads fitted,

Painted prior to having them fitted

lovely job there pal. Think I'll spray paint mine. Just need to make sure I mask everything off properly. Think I'll go for black or anthracite colour. Your brakes look great

I went for eBay seller no brand cross drilled discs

then some EBC GreenStuff pads good improvement and Ford fitted as part of service I just supplied parts I wanted.

Take care to mask up both sides identical otherwise the car will torque steer under acelleration to the side which has least paint coverage😂

thanks

haha thanks for the advice. I may just paint the rear callipers then my car will do wheelies

That is a pisser. I wonder if he put the trays back after?

I believe it's how burger king cook there burgers,

Sure tastes like it

Haha its also how their burgers look sometimes. Like a dogs dinner

Black calipers for those of us that like to stay inconspicuous.

Very nice

Black also expels heat better,

So in reality black gives more braking performance than any other colour even yellow 😦
