    Hello

    my disks and alloys look great and shiny but my brake calipers has a rusty look to it even though they aren't.

    ideas on how to make shiny or better?

    If you struggle to do things neatly, mask the discs before you start.


    Considering selling my VCDS KEY-USB interface. If you're interested please contact me via PM or email.

    I've never felt the need to paint my calipers but I have seen endless photos of other attempts
