i was thinking of red but would that be to bright as i have black rear lights and black halo headlights?

like the sound of green aswell

[dazza88]

how many cans or pots will i need to do all four calipers?

[Elliott]

red would be fine mate.

get some hammerite heat resistant paint , a tin of the 250ML stuff should do it and paint it on

[dazza88]

cant decide between red and green now lol

[Elliott]

I was going to do mine last weekend.

Did attempt to start... rubbed down one caliper and then the rain started.

So back to square one.

Hardly looks like its going to be a heatwave tomorrow!!

[Elliott]
