Signs your callipers need calliper painting

Why tired callipers stand out

Brake dust settles on the callipers every time you brake and slowly eats into whatever finish is there. On a car with freshly cleaned alloys, a dull or stained calliper is the first thing to catch the eye through the spokes, and it only gets more obvious as the colour fades further.

Painted callipers stay bright for longer when brake dust doesn't get the chance to build up. Rinse the wheels and callipers when you wash the car, use a wheel cleaner that's safe on painted surfaces, and work round the calliper with a soft brush so the paint isn't scratched. Through winter, a rinse after salty roads stops grime sitting on the colour. While you're cleaning, look over each caliper for chips or a patch where the paint has lifted. Catching a mark early keeps it small. More on the process is on our brake calliper painting page.

Before you send the photo

Will rusty callipers affect how my brakes work?

Surface rust on the outer body of the calliper is a cosmetic problem. Painting never touches the pads or pistons, which are masked off, and if you're worried about how the brakes feel, have a mechanic look at them.

What should the photo show?

Get the calliper clearly in shot with the wheel turned, and tell us the colour you'd like or send a picture of it. Adding your reg or the make and model helps us price it faster.

Will a photo show whether the callipers need rust treatment?

Usually it will. We can see how far rust or baked-on dust has spread, and the reply covers the price and the prep each calliper needs.
