Hammerite seems to be fairly heat resistant. I painted my V6 calipers with it and I've had no problem. | |

corsa_lad yes u do need heat resistant paint. I used proper caliper paint i did it in the same way as the bloke did. Mine was abit more expensive though. I used blue caliper paint costs abou £8 from halfords. It came out nice :) | |

Wire wool? Why not just use a cup brush and a drill, that way all the rust is gone. | |
