caliper painting

[bola]

I have painted my brake calipers in red vht paint, the finish on it is really bad & hard to get dirt off, can i lacquer them or anything as theyre going to be impossible to keep clean! What does everybody else do? thanks

i used hammerite silver on mine, wipe clean with a rag

Its because vht is a "dry" matt finish. So dirt will eat into it.
Hammerite works best as its very hard wearing.

dont really want to do it again as i only did it a few hours back, is there no laquer or anything so that i dont have to start all over again?

[Martin]
