hammerite is best, it is heat proof, or failing that halfords do their own caliper paint in 5 colours, i did mine in blue with this stuff, its 8.99 | |

Cheers m8, just wondered if foliatec stuff had some kinda heat resistant properties as opposed to hammerite stuff | |

wot i did with mine was take all the old paint off using paint stripper, lot better than just painting it over the top as it will probably flake off | |

u can use hammerite, n its top stuff, as said, wots the point of spending 20 notes on folatec crap when a can of hammerite is about 6 quid | |

that folia tec stuff is shite. just use normal spray paint if you want a fancy colour, or smooth hammerite if you want a plain colour | |

Anyone know a decent place to source some red caliper lacquer (folia tec stuff i imagine). Tried Chesterfield & Derby Halfords, none in stock, same story at Motor World. Seems £20 is the going rate, was just neing a cheap skate & trying to avoid P&P!! |
