I did mine with satin black hammerite, disc centres and calumets. Looks great and no sign of burning off.

As for the weeds, well if it isn't wired or bolted together it's the wife's department.

I don't work on D4s much, so the size of the front brakes is always a bit of a surprise:

Anyway, they look a lot better now:

Pretty much in situ, just lifting the calliper and removing the pads. Although I did fully remove the front calliper and hung it up to make access easier, but not really required. If you use a colour other than black or silver then it is best to fully remove everything for painting, but black and silver are very forgiving. Having everything bolted down makes it easier to prep the surface with power tools.

I used a small paint brush (3/8") plus a artist paintbrush nicked from my daughters messy play box.
