Just had some work done: new discs and pads all round and a couple of the bleed nipples were seized/corroded on and were replaced (with stainless steel ones).

I use my Guards Red touch up paint to do chips in the calipers and it's a perfect match.

You're going to have to remove and strip the calipers to clean, prep and mask them though, let alone paint them.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'd like to respray my calipers. I bought the car a few years back now with yellow calipers a la ceramic - which I thought it was a nice touch - but they need to go back to original red
Just had some work done: new discs and pads all round and a couple of the bleed nipples were seized/corroded on and were replaced (with stainless steel ones). As such, they need a touch up and I thought I'd take the opportunity to go back to OEM
Would anyone recommend which rattle can red is the best/correct one?
TIA

Thanks for replies so far guys :thumbs:
So the brush on stuff is just as good as the rattle can stuff?? If so, anyone used this product:

Either is fine; I've always had good results with brushing and have more confidence the paint has thoroughly engaged with the surface.
You're going to have to remove and strip the calipers to clean, prep and mask them though, let alone paint them. Look at the photos above. You can't get results like that doing it in situ.
I have some of this which I am waiting to use when the weather improves a bit to strip off the calipers. So hoping it is good. Came well recommended by others.
Re: brakes
I have got mine from Uber9 / brakecaliperdecals.co.uk. They conveniently supply you with 3 to do a pair of caliper. Built in option for messing one up!
