I am doing up my kit - is there any brand of caliper paint that is good, and any to avoid? Thanks

I've always used Foliatec, bit more expensive than others but the finish is excellent, you can get it from any Halfords store

Where did you get those wheel nuts? Mine are zinc planted and have gone all manky and I would like to get new ones - sorry for not paying attention to the shiny red calipers - thanks for that..

Their just cheapy ones that came with the wheels, they did'nt take long to corode!, your better off getting a set from your local dealer as they last longer(shiney).

I did mine in black with a little roller with white paint to bring out the embossed writing, that would improve the look no end (not that they don't look good now!! )

Have been thinking about it

Which paint did you use?

If that is for me, the paint I used was just some from ebay (there are loads!!!) Good stuff though plenty for all 4 calipers a couple times each and more !!

The white paint I used was just a small tin of hammerite from Halfruads

I've used Smoothrite with no issues
