Just until it is touch dry, dont drive it over night if you can help it though to let it set.

I have a Bright silver paint on my drums and calipers, used hammerite. Got a good finish and it looks smart, go 6 spokes so you see everything.

Yep Hamerite is what i've used as it's heat proof and cheap enough

Either caliper paint(bit pricey, but guaranteed up to 900degrees!) or I have also been told hammerite will do the job, as it's also pretty good with heat.

Hmm, gold, never thought of that.
Luca - Rio Verde is a dark pearlescent green.

I went for gold as I thought it looked classy

Would bother mate, coloured caliper and drums look tacky imo. If you gonna might aswell be a dark colour so it doesn't stand out loads

Have decided to colour my calipers and drums, but not sure what colour to do them. :boggle: My car is Rio Verde if that helps.
Cheers guys.:thumbs:
