Thanks guys... I would totally recommend doing it yourself, even if you are lazy, its pretty straight forward.
I used a power drill w/ a wire brush tip and the calipers came clean easily. Also used some laquer thinner which really ate through the brake dust. I bought the Duplicolor brake caliper paint kit and the instructions said to apply 3 coats, 5 min in between each coat. I let them dry for 24 hours before I drove it...prob could have driven the same day b/c it was 80+ outside...but just to be sure I waited.

Looks great man....I have been thinking of getting it done, probably RED, but I don't have patience (actually am lazy) I did rather pay to get it done....does any UK member know if any local trade can paint it in Midlands?
