Golf_GT_TDI recommended me this company as they do many colours in spray form/liquid. I will be using them to when I evetually get round to refurbing my calipers  :rolleyes: Golf_GT_TDI says they gave him really good customer service, haven't heard anything about the quality of the paint though, I can't imagine it being any worse than hammertie which a lot of people normally use!

Awesome stuff just what I needed  :smiley:

Should be getting the VRS calipers for my 256mm setup tomorrow. Bigg Red are referbing them and have lcr bembos on the front so want them to match.

I was going to do it myself with one of those kits but didnt really know what I was doing so just bite the bullet and sent them off.

It was £130 with the shock blasting back to the bare metal and reconditioned.

Will let you know what there like once I get them back  :smiley:
