I used this CLICKY'MA'GEEE your suppossed to use it on exhaust manifolds so you know it wont burn off like normal paint. But i found that after an hour it says its dry, but its best to leave it a day or two as when i rubbed it a little a couple of hours later, my finger when silver. so i read the can and it said it wont properly cure till the paint has been cooked on basically. so be careful when fitted otherwise you will have to repaint, and so its a lot of hassle, but once cooked on it should be prety darn good stuff, i hope. but i will let you know. new discs coming tomorrow, and will be painting them with it to!
nova_saloon I found that out too when I painted my vespa engine 2 weeks later it still left paint on my hand so I put it outside to bake in the sun now it's great.
this is good news! i got annoyed when i first did it i was going to lob it at the guy in the shop, but read the can before you go is always a good point of call cheers brainsnova
Just done mine with red hammerite and i agree about red looking chavvy unless they are brembos of course but i think they just go with my white wheels on my sport.
I thought calipers were a kinda bronzy colour?
I say yellow as it goes with everything and still has that 'performance' look about it. Red, as has been said, is a bit chavvy. Green can be good but only works on a black or white car IMO. Blue looks daft on any colour car. Silver looks boring and will get dirty quickly. Black...?
Clean the calipers first with cillit bang btw, works really well

yellow FTW +1
have yellow callipers on my pov beige mk1
What about gold? Too bling? I'm thinking of trying to find a colour closer to the original bronze look as I think silver would be too bright and black too dull. (Any colour is better than rust colour though!)
If you mix silver and gold smooth hammeright together you get a very close match to new...
