i've never had a problem with smooth hamerite spray
a good clean up, bit of red oxide, three or four coats of hamerite smooth
gives a really good finsh

no, i've had no problems
its all down to the prep work like most things
if you put the time in cleaning it up
before you paint you'll get a better finsh

i've used a wire wheel that fits to a angle grinder
and cleaned all the parts back to bare metal,
need a vice to hold the parts, dust mask and eye protection.
just keep clear of the rubber caliper seals

cheers stu

The red calipers on my black turbo was enamel paint following a recomendation, from Stuart I think.
