I would like to get these callipers coated red, any advice, tips or recommendations please?

Remove wheel, obviously, and then mask off all but the caliper. That is the pain as it takes a while. Get rid of that surface rust with a wire bonnet brush on a power drill. Be careful. Treat with a rust curer if required. Undercoat and apply a top coat of red caliper paint. Some caliper paints don't require undercoat. You can also buy JAGUAR white logos off ebay to finish them off and I would suggest a sealant spray over them. there is a post recently, somewhere on here, that shows the end result.

I used the smooth Hammerite in silver on my previous 240 and added some red Jaguar logos from eBay. I was really pleased with the result.
