Thanks to the help from this board I finished my project this weekend, to paint all the calipers in my black V70.

Job was easier than anticipated. Did 2 wheels on Sat, 2 on Sun. I used a small foam brush rather than sparaying, rustoleum fire engine red enamel and a good degreaser/cleaner solution. The first step was some good cleaning and sanding of the calipers. Total cost $12.00 plus sweat equity.

They really look sharp, like those expensive Brembo calipers.
I highly recommend this upgrade(fix-up) if you enjoy working on your volvo, and your volvo has the 5 spoke alloys, as they show the whole caliper.

Cheers ;)
