    Why not use a paint to paint the calipers then use the same paint to paint the centre caps? Or is that too OCD?

      Not at all, the center caps come apart easily and you would be taking the wheels off anyway (need to do this to get the center caps off also) so painting the color part would be no problem.

          Sorry I missed your reply - I bought my paint from ebay and searched for 'RED E-Tech Brake Caliper Paint Kit' !

            I've ordered some good looking paint, so should be here for the weekend so I can crack on with the job. I didn't realise the centre caps themselves came apart, so I might have a go at painting those too thanks guys
