[eternity575]

OK..OK! i promise! its the last time im asking about caliper paint..

i bought the hammerite smooth red type bn1453...

its somewhat christmas red lol... and now.. for my request..

can someone with red calipers can post a close up of the front&rear cal.? there are somethings there i dont know if i should paint or not..

just paint all the cast metallic parts and try not to let it get on the disc or run into the calipers itself and gum up the pad release springs.

apply three or four light coats and you shouldnt get no probs :)

[eternity575]

so.. just that grey metal thingie? no aluminum/silver/gold/metal?

[jaxx]

the easist way for me to put it is 'paint the knobbly bits' of the calpier and nothing else!

[eternity575]

knobbly .... rofl

i paint all four right?

[jaxx]

yes all four

i say nobbly i mean the rough areas of the caliper, youll get the idea
