brake caliper paint

[marcfair]

anyone recommend a brake caliper paint to use on my calipers and the centre part of the disc where the silver coating has come off ( elise s2 02 plate)

cheers

Hammerite.

[marcfair]

do hammerite do a high temp paint? or will the standard stuff be ok

i'm guessing the standard stuff will be ok on the disc and the HT paint on the actual calipers

You're going to paint the centre of your disks silver??

If you need to, I'd suggest using heat resistsant paint for both applications as the hub will get pretty hot too if you're giving it some. Best way to do the calipers is to take them off (leaving the hose attached) and piant hem all over - gives the piant les chance to peel. There's a thread about this on here somewhere.

Id just do the calipers, and ive used hammerite before without any problems.

Did you, by any chance, use one of these 'wheel cleaner' products??

These are often so agressive that it strips the paint off the disc centre.

Bye, Arno.
