Rebuilding the Girling brakes on my e30

These brakes looked like piles of poop. I really wanted to have them powder coated but unfortunately that isn't in the budget so I'm going to try Dupli-Color caliper paint. 

I took the calipers apart and pulled all the seals.



I used a wire wheel to get all the rust off. I masked off the piston chamber and seal seats and then used high-temp primer and Dupli-Color brake caliper paint. 

I found replacement seal kits and also replaced the piston above that has corrosion on it.

Here is the final product. 



After taking the photo I realized I should go ahead and replace the bleeder screws too.
