Hammerite Smooth Red Spray paint then rollable White Hammerite smooth for the letters.

The small white gloss roller does the trick on the raised letters. For the rears you can get the heat resistant stickers off Flea Bay.

You can buy a kit for it, doesnt cost that much but you will have to treat your calipers to remove any excess grime (should be in the kit) then you can paint them

It's labelled "Rollable" on the tin of normal Hammerite. The rollers are bought seperately, small gloass rollers.

I've always used foliatec and just done my rears, you get a fantastic finish!

I would'nt use the stuff of e-bay for your calipers, more suited for your drums. If you do use the foliatec, make sure you don't mix all the hardener and paint as your have to do all 4 calipers in one hit.
