Default Bringing brake calipers back to life

Guys,
I had a play around today and painted the NISSIN raised section of the brake calipers with a fine brush and some red paint. I thought it came up good. Just a little touch that brings the old girl back to life in the brake caliper department.

I also did my Blackbird which is the third pic. It needs another coat tmrw but you can get the idea. I'll also be doing something with the black part of the caliper as its gone a bit dull. A good degrease would be a good start....lol. Cheers.
