What products did you use to clean then paint up your calipers? I was thinking wire brush and wf40 then with brake cleaner then with a paint. They are rusty unpainted mondeo calipers cheers

Wire brush on a drill is good ben, Bosh do a cup style stainless one. Would steer clear of Wobbly Dog as you might struggle to get your paint to stick after if you dont get it ll off

That looks really good. Is that a sticker on it? I was thinking about something like that but didn't know where to get them from
