Painting calipers dragon green

[saul79]

dont use wd40 as its got silcone it and it will react with the paint -brake cleaner is the the best

[Mikester]

i just used a wire brush and then a damp cloth to get the dust off. Dont wnt to start lubbing your brakes!

AS for mixing the hamerite, once sum dust gets on them, they wont be perfect, so i wouldnt worry.

so saul, did you just use standard paint or heat resistant? I wont be using the WD40 then, i try and use that sh!t for everything!

[kells]

just use hammerite mate, they do a green metalic which is very similar to dragon green

oh ok, cheers mate

Wire brush, damp clothe, few coats of hamerite, dont even need to take them off, just mask the discs a bit and use a SMALL brush. lol

Can mix it with a bit of white of black to help it along.
