Would you not be better to get a can of brake paint from Halfords and paint them yourself or get the other half to do them.

or if you want them to last then get them powder coated there are plenty of places that will do it just do a google for powder coaters in glasgow

Its only really a case of loosening bolts, jacking up car on a flat area, taking off wheels, clean up calipers with brake cleaner or related products and give a lick of paint.

Being parnicity you could take calipers apart and 'do it right' lol

Fair enough but it is just taking your wheels off cleaning them and then a lick of paint. just like painting your nails :smilewinkgrin:
