what the best caliper paint to paint my 2 litre calipers
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

it dont bubble up or fall off over time
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

ok cool thanks mate what do you recommend on the prep side ive completely striped them and comma hyper cleaned them up and wire bushed them up so far
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.
I also use enamel engine paint
