Do I need to apply copper grease after? or will it be fine as I'm painting the callipers off my car and they're being fitted during a service

Halfords sell their own brand stuff which should do it :thumbs:

Why not? To do with heat resistance?

Just bought a brake setup and thought I'd give it a clean and a lick of hammerite before I put them on.

Am I right in that it goes:

Clean brakes with a wire brush and something like STP Brake Cleaner

Paint callipers with hammerite

Apply copper grease after to stop seizing
