Nice job Ian. What white paint did you use? Been trying to find a decent thick white paint to do mine.
Saw these kits on eBay and might give them a try........

Mark wanted silver. The best stuff is Hammerite Smooth rollable. I don't use a brush. Use the flat end of a small gloss roller but the sponge must be the really stiff type.

It's much easier if the calipers are stripped back and don't have loads of old paint coats over the raised letters.
