dude its easy, pick a colour, get some degresser, put it on the brake caliper and drum (get a metal scrubbing brush) and scrub, repeat twice, then wipe down, mask up behind the brake and drum ( one sheet of newspapar), spray the caliper and drum (dont worry if you get some on the disc, it will come off when you drive), i put 2 coats on each drum and caliper and used one can of VHT brake paint.
hope that helps you

Munkee c munkee do.
Did this yesterday as per croc's instructions (except I just scrubbed once and with a toothbrush), took a lazy hour to do.
Gonna finish the job properly when I take the whole caliper off when upgrading pads soon. Only used up 1/4 of the can.
Try it PP, lots of satisfaction in looking at something you did all by yourself.

I used the VHT stuff a while back do you guys also find that its not all that heat resistant and it comes off and looks really really ugly after a while?

Maybe you got a bad batch of VHT paint wun.
The brand I bought was Septone, but I have used VHT on my headers on my other car and they have lasted the distance.
