caliper paint
Hiya, just wondering where might be the best place to get some good quality red caliper paint?
I bought some off ebay before and it was terrible!
Thanks, Steve

Might try halfords then.
The stuff I had off ebay looked really nice when I sprayed it on but once it dried it went dull like primer.

Hammerite: two coats at 45 minute intervals. Brush paint, it doesn't show brush marks.
Use the smooth stuff, it comes in quite a few colours.
And buy some Hammerite thinners, or the brush won't be usable after the first coat
