jackso11 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I see alot of you on here have used hammerite to paint your calipers, but I also know that hammerite is very flammable. Anyone had any problems with it? I painted the crank case on a motorbike I used to have with black hammerite and from what I can remember it used to smell of burning paint evertime I stopped moving! Also, anyone got a guide on how to remove them and ? Cheers people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 If you want to paint them red then get some Plasti Kote bright red spray , it's much nicer than the Hammerite which I tried aswell. Because the calipers won't be perfectly smooth I used some grey hammered finish spray first and then the bright red. B&Q and Halfords sell the Plasti Kote spray paint. I've never heard of anyone having problems with paint on the calipers melting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I used the Folia Tec kit from Halfrauds and some VHT clear for protection. Attached below is the kit I used & VHT & Paint brush from B&Q & new decals. And here are the calipers with 1yrs usage on them after the process.
