Re: Painted my calipers

I've used there own brand of stuff before and found that it takes ages to go hard and if you drive it before it hardens it all comes off on the inside of your wheels. a few people have used hammerite smooth but it doesn't say on the tin that it is heat resistant.

Demon tweeks do them.

About 20 notes and usually come with the paint, a brush and some carb and brake cleaner.

If thats just the paint then halfords have had your pants down and rammed their neon lit cock up your arse.

If it inludes everything else then that price is about right.
