Been a busy chap at the weekend, the calipers looked sorry for them selves, so i decided to sproose them up, fronts and backs. i have paints them all the Brembo red, but the fronts need the SUBARu repainted in white (the mrs will do that for me tomorrow) So just one caliper to show u at the back, what do u think of the finish then

You must have a steady hand to paint the SUBARU on the rear calipers! They're stickers aren't they?

Yer in that picture there a sticker or simular but the fronts are part of the caliper and thats what shell will paint The backs i just went round that bit ;-)

I did the front lettering with a block of wood. Add a little paint to the block and just press it against the lettering. Job done.

i used the white version on my old vectra and it was much better then hammerite IMO

it was the only white that never turned yellow with the heat

Hammerite seems too thick and doesnt give a ultra gloss finish
