I would like to protect my newly obtained & newly cleaned sport calipers which have 'mercedes' written on them, hence I would like a clear lacquer.
All of the brake caliper paints are coloured.

hi
i went to replace brake pads on all 4 corners of the new saloon (W124 1995) today.
All went fine with 3 corners.
Apart from passenger front - the piston doesnt seem to be able to be pushed back in far enough to allow the new pad to fit - i think its siezed.
Any ideas on trying to...
I was wondering if anybody can help, i am looking to change the discs, pads and calipers on my c180 (w202) for something with a bit more stopping power. i was looking at the c230k (w202) and was wondering if the calipers would bolt straight on or would i have to get a spacer made up for them to...
I know I've asked this before, but after some Photoshoping, I now have something to give me an idea as to what they would look like. Your thoughts please.....

Hi all,
I'm considering painting the calipers on my motor before they have chance to get too grubby (7k miles at the mo) using suitable paint and technique.

Any members ever painted their brake calipers with heat resistent paint ?
Anyone got any suggestions on colour/ make of paint and a good place to buy . Any photos anyone ?

after a hub setup for my looooony W116 6.9 based trike - need a large hub of some sort - S class or van based, but with std merc bolt spacing (ie not sprinter etc).
any old rusty rubbish considered. ;)
Guys, has anyone had any experience in servicing the brake calipers.
I have a problem with the CL500 whereby whenever I press the brakes I get a crunching sound from both sides.
I have had the discs and pads replaced only a few months back so know its not due to worn down pads.
My gut...
