Calliper Paint & Lacquer

Stuart_J · 12-07-2004, 09:08

Can anyone recomend any products or suppliers for the following which will be heat resistant for Brake callipers

Gloss Black paint (not Matt black)

Lacquer should I choose not to paint the callipers but keep the natural alloy colour

Thanks in advance

Only stuff I know of the Foliatec caliper paint they sell in Halfords. Without going super expensive it's the only thing i can think of.

Look thru Demon tweeks, ripspeed or motor-world, they all have products

Beileve it of not Hammertie works just fine, lasts for ever and is heat resistant and cheap.

Whatever you do dont get Halfords own brand stuff, its bleedin awfull.

The Foliatec caliper paint is £20 from Halfords and is good stuff.

Used it on my Coupe and finish stayed good.

Pic shows the caliper after being on for 2 years.

I been looking round for some caliper paint as well, found some in Halfords, but not available in green (I want the green like the VRs)

However

My old man at same time bought some High Temperature paint for his calipers (red - he has an MX5), on the tin it says its good for over 400 degrees, so should be ok for calipers, not had chance to try it yet though

Incidently, someone at Halfords suggested that no one makes green HMP paint, so to get a tin of Yellow and Blue and mix to my own shade of green

I know people dont like the halfords stuff, but no one has said WHY ???????
