Title: A little advice please!
Post by: jamesgti on 19 June 2009, 18:57

Hi, I have a mk4 golf gti 1.8T and i want to paint the brake calipers red. Just wondering if there are any reccomendations on what paint to use? I also was wondering if the calipers are hard to remove or not?

Many Thanks

James

I agree hammerite is all you need,Don`t need to buy any special paint

I would use Hycote ultra high temp paint as i got loads on trial through work and it is super tough but neads a good grease free clean surface Costs £6 a can.
but all my other cars had hammerite which is less fussy and can be touched up easy which is good cos it does come off :wink:
