Recommend me a good, quick drying calliper paint?

[Sam Wood]

I need to find a black calliper paint that dries very quickly, or at least as quick as possible

As I will be taking my wheels off, painting the callipers, and them putting my new alloys on (this will be at a friends house) so I don't want to be stood around for 5 hours waiting for them to dry before I put the alloys on

Also how easy is it to paint the callipers? any advice or methods on how to do it?

Cheers, Sam

Any paint is going to take a little while to properly set, most people along with me use Hammerite Smooth.

As Greeny says, using hammerite it should be touch dry in about 40 minutes anyway, maybe not in this temperature though. Hairdryer is your friend.

Okay cheers greeny

I was thinking of painting them black
But would it be best to wait till spring and paint them a lighter colour like yellow or something?
Can someone please post up some 172 alloys with yellow and or black callipers so I can see what they would look like

Cheers, Sam

Yellow:

Silver:

Black unless they're anything special - which you wouldn't paint in the first place!

Standard calipers are amazing with the right discs and pads

Im gonna have Silver alloys, so you think yellow will do with that? or maybe red?
