Preparation is the first point, you'll need to get off all the rust which looks like it's been caused by Alloy Wheel cleaner, nasty corrosive stuff
All done by the previous owner (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif) (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/sad.gif)

Secondly and most importantly, you need two pack epoxy brake caliper paint. I tried every other type and it's the only type that lasts longer than few months
Sounds like hassle (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)

i wire brushed em,
slapped on some kurst rust remover,
and painted em with a left over tin of black bbq and/or engine paint... 2 years later there fine.
Ahh, now that sounds like a plan. What kind of finish did it give? Any pictures buddy?
