Painted brake calipers. Much cheaper than buying new ones.
Primer, less than £10 https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/c...2121&0&cc5_143
Paint, £10 https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/c...2241&0&cc5_161
120 grit sandpaper for sanding down caliper. less than £5 https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-wet...ck-of-10/32368
1200 grit sandpaper for smoothing caliper after 120 grit, less than £5 https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-wet...ck-of-10/98101
Or if you have a dremel, use that for a much better finish.
Brake cleaner to clean crap of caliper after sanding, less than £5 https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/c...0020&0&cc5_858
Back calipers, I tapped everything up rather than remove the caliper itself due to needing to remove handbrake cable and I was on a bit of a decline but still looks the part.
Use of a heatgun here will also help massively.
