Lexx Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Humbrol Paints #54 is an exact match for the Brembo Gold caliper paint. It can be found in any hobby/model shop that sells airfix kits and the like. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Great thanks, as my wheels are the same colour as the calipers and are likely to get curbed at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUG Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Does it need a clear coat or any finishing product on top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 my wheels are the same colour as the calipers ... now that I would like to see!

rtbiscuit Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Does it need a clear coat or any finishing product on top? shouldn't do as its an enamel. if you ever did airfix as a kid you never had to clear coat over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsniss350z Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) The best way I've found of applying the Humbrol is to use a cocktail stick instead of a brush as you can dab the tiniest amount of paint to the damage, build it up if necessary and you're left with no brush marks. And no you won't need any clearcoat as the Hunbrol is Enamel. Edited June 23, 2014 by samsniss350z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the original paint appears to be rather thick so when its chipped it is necessary to build up layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
