How-to Brake Caliper Colour Change
First off I'd suggest reading Tucpal's and Rusty's write ups:

What I used:
2 x cans of brake caliper spray paint (from the ever so cheap Halfords)
1 x can of brake caliper cleaner (dependent upon how dirty your calipers are)
Sand paper - rough, medium and soft (a steal from Asda at £1!)

Front Caliper issues?? - Help please

Thanks any help welcome.

Caliper slide pins replacement?
I could swear when I replaced my discs and pads two years ago, I saw a post on here about replacing the rubber sleeved slide pins with plain ones (by buying two packs). Cannot find it with any searching.

Anyway, I didn't do that back then (only had the one set) but I'll be damned the brake squeal has come back and I'm betting the caliper is sticking on that rubber boot two years later.
