Bought a pair of G60 calipers, they are rusty, half painted red, over the rust,  and a bleed nipple snapped of while trying to undo it,  Lets see what I can do.  Photo of one.

So after a combination of deox c and various wire brush,s in an electric drill and several hours, came up quite nice,  Just need a few coats of caliper paint and I do have new pistons and seals to fit.

It's amazing how well calipers come up with a bit of elbow grease. They'll look great once painted  :thumbs:

Yeah, the advantage of thick metal, as opposed to doing bodywork.  At the moment attempting to fit the new pistons and rubber seals,  while I have done it rather easily on another pair of callipers, this pair is very close to feeling the weight of my sledge hammer,   will just not go together.  EDIT  Got there in the end, second one was easier.
