I've acquired a car and its currently got orange brake calipers and brake rotors.
It looks crap and I need it gone. I can't grind it all off as its in hard to reach places so I need to paint over it.
I don't want any gloss or bling, I want it to look normal and out of sight like a standard car.
Any ideas on fixing this fail boats work :confused:
I used Hammerite on mine :)

What colour?
I've used various paints over the years which have worked,but its always been to highlight them and not hide them.

like said stuff like hammerite will work well etc,
best stuff iv used is that engine paint off ebay, you can paint it on pretty thick and it dries smooth
