Hi all,

was thinking about painting both the calipers and drums on my car as to be honest they let the car down alot as they are fairly rusty at the minute. Not only does it look bad but also it is a nightmare as when i clean my wheels the rust tends to get all over the inner part of the wheels as soon as i drive off

Do you have any recommendations as to where and what brake caliper paint kit i should get? came across a site called Foliatec, anyone used any of their products before?

Also was thinking about painting the drums silver and then the calipers black as the car in question is a silver M3 and i think that this colour combo will go well. Whilst im at it I may as well paint the wheel bolts! Will the paint withstand the use of the wheel wrench to get the wheels on and off as i wouldnt want them to start flaking after the first time of loosening/tightening them.

Thanks in advance for any info

TheEnd

myself and a lot of others have used regular hammerite on the calipers and bell part of the discs without any fires.
