Best paint for calipers?
I'm refurbing my calipers at the moment, and was wondering what everyone had used to paint theirs? Do I need to get the expensive foliatec
stuff, or will smoothrite / japlac / engine enamel do the job? I'm looking for a black finish if that helps.
Cheers
Adrian

Halfords do their own caliper paint, £9.99 for a 250ml tin, a bit less with a trade card. Comes in about 5 colours.

You can also buy high temperature paint I have seen it in silver and black not gloss though . I have used hammeritte with no problems.

the only problem with hammershite is the the fluid causes the paint to bubble up
