Can I ask a stupid question or two

I want to paint my brake calipers and have seen a previous thread by kojak69 which shows them as red painted with hammerite.

Do you have to take the calipers off to paint them then ? Or can you do it on the disk so to speak ?

How do you keep the TVR bit white and the AP writing thing, I was thinking of blue calipers and then gold lettering as it would match the car.

Any suggestions gratefully received -

Any chance of a picture of the blue calipers - did you do the TVR and AP in blue too, I'm hoping to do a two colour effect - i've got stainless steel hoses too !

Wow this is a thread resurrection indeed - couldn't even remember asking this question and now 11 years later and also still not had them painted. Well now the whole car is stripped down completely - it is time to finally get them painted !!

Jody have sent you PM - my email address in the profile doesn't exist any more and I can't see how to change the email address in 'My Info'
Thanks
