I put some smooth silver Hammerite on my Punto's calipers. They were rusty and all I did was give them a clean with a wire brush then gave them 2 coats of the paint. The finish lasted ages......

I put a coat of the Hammerite alloy primer on just to be on the safe side, allthough there's probably no need!
