right got 4 pots off m8 (& found locking wheel nut key, phew!!!!!) so just gora give em a clean & paint b4 installing. Got a wire brush so cleaning shud b easy enuff but can i find anywhere that sells white calliper paint, can i 80110x. Motorworld reckon they can order black in @ £19.99 but nowhere seems 2 have or b able 2 get white i kud even b tempted 2 use white engine paint kinda fing although from reading sum other threads it seems calliper paint doesn't sucumb to brake fluid when/if bleeding brakes etc so i'd prefer that & certainly i wood want calliper paint in black 4 the majority of calliper but anything white which can take da temp wood do 4 the letters if need b but still bugger all joy
HELP where have u lot got it from as i've seen many ppl have touched up the ole subaru letters?

they have both colours at halfords. Ask for caliper paint. It's about 6 or 7 quid a pot.

For white paint try your local hardware store (B&Q) for radiator paint or stove enamel.

Available in gloss or matt and it has a good heat range

Been considering white myself, so if you do it, please post some pics

i did think that with regards engine paint although i believe from previous threads that calliper paint is safe from brake fluid when bleeding etc but other heat resistant paint can go **** up if brake fluid get in contact
So am guna c if i can kum by da white caliper paint 1st but may go 4 engine, BBQ etc type ting as i dont suppose the subaru letters r so likely 2 get fluidified now where can u get black calliper paint 4 the bits that will? lol

Engine laquer, aka high temperature laquer, about £5 a tin. Many colours.
Why not do the calipers to match the car, then touch up the letters in white?
PS: You shouldn't get bf on the outside of the calipers unless you have a major fault, or are a complete prat when bleeding the brakes. Even if you do, rub off the affected paint with paper towel, clean the area, and redo it.

Red certainly does go with a green car - I've got it on mine and it looks superb Check out the pics in Members Gallery.....
