dohh (months), halfords do it, i would take wheel off!! and mask up about 5mm onto where pad rubs on disk, then mask entire car and spray them with silver smoothrite (not very glossy). brushing with smooth sometimes leaves brush marks. I did my calipers gloss black and look nice. A gloss black bell housing with gloss black calipers with supra logos on would look super sweet. :clap:

When I did mine I used a drill with wire attachments to get rid of the rust, then used Hammerite Smooth (make sure you get smooth not hammered). I didn't take the calipers off but just made sure not to paint the pads :eek:

 

Some are sceptical about how long the Hammerite will stay under temperature but mine still look great after a couple of months and it's cheap. Took me the best part of 5 hours to do properly though - I also shined up the suspension arms and undersealed the arches at the same time.

 

Here's my show-off thread... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=42603

 

Good luck :thumbs:
