im thinking about painting my brake calipers red, and then the subaru logo in white.

where can i get the paint from?

 

Halfords

 

Ebay

 

that was easy

 

I''l add B and Q to that and even Tesco's, as I used Hammerite smooth.

 

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.

 

excellent. thanks alot

 

just had a look on teh Hammerite website, but could not find any rollable white paint? or do i have to buy a roller seperate?

 

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

I think the kit is by Foliatec <spelling>, somewhere in the depths of my garage there is a red kit i bought from Revolution but never used......I bought some bigger red brakes instead

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.
