Caliper paint

[kev182cup]

Gonna paint my calipers tomorrow and wondered what's the best paint to use. Thinking about black or silver for my blue cup.

Cheers.

Yep in silver or black. B&Q sell it too.

Another vote for hammerite, smooth of matt... all good

So does that work with the heat, don't want it pealing off.

 

[AhmedRSi]

Yes its fine mate

Looks like some of that will be purchased then, think I'm swaying towards black but still not 100 percent.

 

[AhmedRSi]

What colours your wheels? Paint them black tbh

hammerite tis a good choice m8y mine need a good going over now but cannt complain over 2 years an only jst started to become a bit mucky

I'm thinking about re-colouring mine, the yellow is good to see through the alloys, but the dirt is really noticeable. How would Hammerite react to thinners?

Hammerite smooth, or plastikote.

My wheels are standard turinis so could do any colour really.

Go for silver!!! Stands out more yet still fairly subtle

agreed with a silver or black m8y however someone on this forum did theres gold and looked nice

Does any1 know who had the gold 1s then, depends what the finish looks like.

Cheers for that, pics are quite far away, think I'm gonna go silver, will have a sleep on it then post pics when I'm done, changing rear pads and discs so would be rude not to do it while the wheels are off.

Just purchased some hammerite smooth. Went for silver. Pics later.
