Lacquer brake calipers?

they don't have to be lacquered, many (including myself) have painted there calipers and put on decals without lacquering them.

 

i read on the details that came with the decals that it is not a must.

 

it does make them extra shiney if you do lacquer them tho :D

Halfords own-brand of caliper paints work well. You're limited on colours (red, blue, yellow and silver, I think), but you could get mixing to be creative and they give you loads for your money (way more than necessary to do one car).

 

As for lacquer, I haven't done mine and they look good. The jury's out on longevity, though, as I only did it last weekend before Japfest...!

Only jesting.

 

Note to everone planning on doing their calipers. Don't waste your money on halfrauds paints. Hammerite is far better and far cheaper. The Halfrauds kit costs £20, yes it does the job but its not as thick as hammerite and hammerite is around £8.
