Anyone done this?

The White SUBARU writing is disappearing on the calipers - anyone renewed it?

Anyone painted the whole lot red?

Anything to look for? I know I can't just use Dulux Gloss from B&Q!

Yep, just painted mine red with Foliatec from Halfords. Plus there's enough to do all four.

Easy and cheap - use Hammerite Smooth, about £5 per tin, plus you'll need thinners. They do a range of colours, I went for red with silver writing, see pics.....
