Brake Caliper paint

[Craig.D]

I have a Artic blue 182 and want to paint the calipers a similar colour as the body just wondering if anyone has done this...and what they used and colour.

cheers Craig

I would advise the use of HT paint such as (http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/88888/mia/d/etech+brake+caliper+paint+blue/pid/7719733) but alot of people have used Hammerite smooth and have no complaints. There are many threads on the differences between the two.

Hamerite smooth for the win, but won't match the 182 blue.

Hammerite Smooth, around £6 a can for 250ml and they come in quite a few colours

Hammerite smooth, calipers should be black or silver only though on blue.

Silver FTW

Hammerite Smooth

Its not Arctic but it doesn't look so bad IMO

I wouldn't use hammerite tbh after seeing how easy it peels off when it gets a bit hot...

Nope..... Thorough Wire Brushing and a Wipe Down and then just Painted on.

This stuff applied by brush or is it rattle can job?

Not confident on getting a good finish with either personally. :/

Hammermite is just Brushed on It's very easy to use and its quite thick so you shouldn't have too many problems getting a decent finish

yep as said, very easy to do, give it a few layers and it will be fine. shouldnt come off, dad used hammerite on his impreza, i used it on me clio and its done a good job!
