Last week I put on new pads and rotors, and then I decided the calipers were ugly. I did replace them 10 years ago, which has been probably less than 1000 miles. They are apparently bare iron, and have gotten pretty rusty on the surface. I smeared some brake grease on the outward side but they didn't brighten up much. Later, I came across Power Slot rebuilt calipers that are powder coated red! About $90 for a pair. I thought, why not.
New coated drums too! The old ones were also a rusty eyesore. I think a quick wheel polish might be next.
