Nobody mention my calipers
Didn't have time to paint them today, they're going black with white writing.
Can anyone recommend a decent paint that will give a matte finish?

Hammerite paint or high temp aerosol paint
Painting the "Subaru" lettering can be a bit of a pain though.
Glad you're liking the brakes, the old set look liked you got the most out of them
