Ive seen this in Halfords and everyone has painted calipers/drums and it looks sweet. I want mine red. Is it a simple job or is it best taking it to a spray shop?

If it's easy D.I.Y. what is involved in painting them? Just taking off the wheels? Or do more parts need detachting?

Cheers,
Andy

Wire brush and some Hammerite. £5-£6 a tin. Just take the wheels off and clean calipers.
