Has anyone used (gold) Hammerite smooth out of a can to paint their calipers & torque arm ?
If so what were the results ? good or shite ?
Cheers
Phil.

Hammerite is the devil's work
I used PJ1 engine paint and it has held up pretty good but that was satin black.
One bloke i know just paint stripped the old paint off and left them bare and they still look great too.
I paintstripped my rear mastercylinder to leave bare and 2 years on is still perfect,just a bit of metal polish every now and then

Had this Aprilia caliper beadblasted then buffed it up a bit and looks grand

caliper paint
Hi I went to the trouble of buying some grey paint from " RS paints " which worked out quite expensive but found it very "watery".I am no expert spayer, so just wondered did anybody ever come across this when using their products .
