Still absolutely fine mate, no peeling or signs of colour problems, I just wash them over each time I clean the wheels and they are still as good as newGhostWKD said:How is the hammerite smooth going after time mark? was looking at yellow caliper paint but if hammerite will do the job i'll do my Uno tub' calipers in hammerite smooth

i did. but i figured if i don't get it done i never will.PNL said:What paint you useing Seraph ? and you should really plan this kind of activity acording to the weather
PNL said:Hammerite is OK just dont mess about with it to much lay it on and dont go over it unless it runs you will get a better finish then you are painting the whole caliper I take it and not just the front use a wire brush and some WD40 that gets the crap off and use plenty of old rags to wipe the WD40 and muck of after Happy Painting
Seraph said:well i'm painting every sufrace i can get to. so just about everywhere, i would rather have taken them off, but weather permitting and all that.
it seems to have settled fine, as for whether or not it's cleaned enough before hand, i'm gonna run the one completed caliper in for a bit to see how well it holds before i waste time on the rest.
