Rub em down , and paint em by hand . I used Hammerite gloss red on mine . In fact they came out so good they look almost pornographic- lol. Tis the easiest option.
Happy new year mate.

i was thinking of spraying them with that cheap hycote spray paint from halfords?

hammerite it is then!

cheerz!

Get Them Powder Coated?

[sickrabbit]

You can therefore paint the front brake calipers the same colour ( use a wire brush and tons of solvent to clean the calipers before painting. Just go caredful , dont paint the holding pins or catches ( check Max powers haynes manual )should cost less than a tenner - the lot.
Good luck.

Cillit Bang is surprisingly good at removing crud from brake calipers, my mate ended up using this on his GTi6 lol

That stuff is evil mate. All those tv ads werent lying .
Chemical warfare for the kitchen. :o

Paint them black.... imo painting them a bright colour just attracts the eye to the fact that you've got shit drums.

[Tazzy]

rub down with cillet bang, then paint with black hammerite!

cheerz!

how easy (and expensive) would it be though, to do a disc conversion?

cheerz!

i have done many sets with black hamerrite, does the job nicely after a rub down :)

[Tazzy]

and the paint stays strong against the typical british weather?

[Lee]

without a problem mate.

However the stuff does smoke nicely the first time you get it hot, but it still doesnt come off :lol:

[Tazzy]

sound, i might do the same to the back box, its looking a bit tatty, covered in rust!

err, no, if your going to paint your backbox, get hold of some high temperature paint. Halfrauds sell it i believe.
