simbasupra Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 not sure on type of cleaner (perhaps brake cleaner) however ensure cleaner is fully off/dry before you start overwise it will affect the paint process. As for paint I and alot of others use hammerite. There are several different finishes, i went for smooth in the spray can form. If you are planning on not removing your calipers it will be easier to use the paint tin and brush method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffman Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 also can anone recommend a type of high temp lacquer? how much hammerite do you think i will need for the 4 calipers...will 400ml be enough for a few coats on each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
