hammerite metal paint

Nice pictures, but of the two you've shown, probably the dedicated Halfords paint. Calipers can get quite hot so I am not sure that regular metal paint would be suitable.

I used a spray on hammerite, smooth red they call it.
In hines sight I would have used proper caliper paint in a tin and really sanded down everything and removed it properly first.

o ok thanks mate
wat would you think i should use out of the two items above? or any other items lol

 

[karbineftw]

Probably the caliper paint as it's actually made for that job. Will be long lasting and heat resistant!

I used spray on smooth hamerite, didn't even take them off either, not the best job in the world but looks 100% better than standard.

Here's what yellow hamerite looks like. Bearing in mind I didn't take the calipers off or prep them in anyway other than give them quick brush over.

(and yeah I know the bumper is a different colour )
