I've used hammerite and it works just fine.

Comes in more colour options as well.

the stuff at halfords is £9.99 it comes in blue, red, silver, and yellow i think.
Its not down with all the styling stuff in the ripspeed area tho, it will be with all the other car paints.

im sure i paid about £9. I know for sure i wouldn't spend £20. It comes in a small tin. I had over half the tin left. I did 2 coats on each wheel and that included the drums. :thumbs:

I was talking about the paint itself being heat resitant to 1000+

although you can generate a fair bit of heat with standard brakes... to the point of making the discs glow bright red if you push them hard enough.

this was why i questioned hammerite's useage...

if i was you just go to halfords and get the proper caliper paint, you will probably pay a couple of £ extra but it would be worth it. Mine came out well good. I did them about 5 months ago and they still look quality.

Look through this folder for "How I painted my calipers and drums" explains everything.
