Brake restoration options?

Evening guys. I hope you're all having a nice bank holiday.
I'm enquiring about my options with my faded red calipers.
I assume its the laquer that has faded and cant be resored with a good old clean
What are my options?

A bit of polish and wax will make a world of difference. I have seen the most pinky calipers shine again!

Yep but if you already have some polish and wax in the garage it will be a heck of a lot cheaper!
