hey guys

just had my alloys powder coated and finished in gloss black today, looking to paint the brake calipers to give it that sportier look.

has anybody ever used the paint kits? and are they reliable? been looking on ebay, the one im after is approx £18, enough paint for all 4 calipers

thanks :)
those paint kits are not cheap, so on my last 2 cars i used household liquid gloss paint over ally silver paint, never burned off, even on the track. bright blue on one car and gloss black on another, recoat every year before show season, but calipers need to be cleaned before painting. can also paint the hub part of brake disc ( done that on my new grooved discs on cupra )
