Read loads of posts regarding refurbing calipers and then either painting the lettering or buying the stickers. Excellent refurb calipers just recieved this morning from Ian at Godspeed BTW. A great speady service and great quality job.

Has there ever been a pole? Does anyone care?

My only issue with stickers is fitting them on the raised fronts. I am sure that on the rear stickers are a given.

Your votes on the front option? Paint or stickers?

Paint I would have thought.

Have to say in my years of playing with cars, painting with a good quality caliper paint is always more durable, stickers can become discoloured and if you a heavy braker they can get too hot and burn off?!

just done mine a week or so ago, no idea why you would use stickers that can come off and must be very fiddly to fit when you can paint them and it's permenant

Stickers dont last long due to the heat..

They look great. What white paint did you use. I have been to Halfrauds today and they don't have white caliper paint and only have large pots of white hammerite.

The guy said to get some emamel paint from a craft shop. Not sure if it would take the heat?

Has anyone got any opinions about using this for the white lettering?

i used normal hammerite smooth paint on mine. I've never had a problem. I dont do any track days tho.

Thanks, as above I also have always used Smooth Hammerite as well

it was after I noticed my local race engine builder used it on blocks and heads and it handled the heat ok, so have used it whenever I have done callipers as well, never had a problem, I used it on the lettering as well, hope it helps
