Do you have to use a special paint for the calipers? Or is it just a normal gloss?

you can use high temp base coat and lacquer .

but these always get marked so when comes to touching up it becomes awkward to match.

i decided to use a high temp gloss for this reason and touching up with a fine brush is no problem and cannot tell.

heres link for paint really good paint

Top job mate

What do you think of the Dodo range?, I have just done a full detail on my spec D with it and used the Buff Daddy for the first time and the results are amazing, I will try and get some pics up tomorrow.

i been using black fire for years and thought would try the dodo range and really impressed to be fair ,i did buy the dodo red mist spray and really dont like it, as it dries instantly even in the shade and leaves spray marks, but purple haze and blue velvet are A1

Yeah you need to use the red mist tropical mate its the same stuff but it doesn't dry as quick so it can be worked in wet and spread more evenly and it will definitely go further as you dont need as much of the product.

cost around £35 to do if you replace bleed nipples with stainless ones and your own time well worth it.
strip down-clean all brake dust off-cover seals/pistons-nitromors paint stripper-wash off-repaint-add stickers........
