I have a tin of Halfords caliper paint, can I use it in a gravity fed spray gun, and if so what would you recommend I thin it with and to what ratio.....

Thanks for the response, The calipers have been blasted in my basic DIY cabinet, and after a rub down will be smooth. A lot of the original paint/powdercoat is left as my blasting setup is only a small Clarke setup. I was intending to prime them first, do I need to use a special primer due to it being a caliper and what would be the best thinner to use with the caliper paint. Obviousley I could take it to a professional but id like to do it myself so your advice is very much appreciated.

I have surrendered to the Powdercoat, and taken the calipert to a blasters to get stripped back. Once they are back is there a good heat resistant primer can use ?
