-Chris- Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I thought special paint was needed for brakes due to the heat involved. I've not read all the links but i didn't notice it saying it was suitable for extreme heat? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuRS Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I thought it was due to brake fluid destroying normal paints rather than heat. Can't see the caliper itself getting hot enough to change the state of paint (probably wrong though). Off to Hobbycraft on the way home from work, will touch up calipers when fitting spacers this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
was8v Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 It'll be fine for small chip touch ups - I wouldn't paint my whole caliper with the stuff though! Wow I should have asked them for 5p commission on each referral I orders a bunch of fine paint paint brushes from them at the same time to do all my stone chips - just hold off paying and they combine the postage in checkout.

was8v Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 How much were the brushes? Just a couple of quid from their ebay shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
