Cleaning the brake calipers

[Mikefirefighter]

My calipers are actually clean its just there a bit gray.
Any ideas for how to make them nice and black again?

Back to black, halfrauds, don't get in on the discs or pads though.

Neat job.

Out of curiosity how did you mask off the BMW lettering?

Hi Taff,
Thanks for the complement,trick of the trade! wipe across the raised lettering with a tightley wrapped lint free cloth dipped in cellouse thinners once paint is tackey,I use a spraygun to apply the heat reistant paint.
