Don't use red smoothrite to paint your calipers!!

[MarkDavis]

It looks cr.ap - it comes out as a slightly orangey red even with 2 coats instead of a deep crimson red a la Brembo.

That is all.

Smoothrite as in Hammerite Smooth?

I've painted my calipers using it and they look fine

Does it look as crap as putting your name down for a meet and not bothering?

Hammerite Smooth is brilliant stuff for calipers, cheap yet effective!

Painting your calipers with smoothrite?

Pah! Thats nowt.

I had an Escort XR3i that was hand painted (poorly) in Hammerite.

I'm looking for an old photo.

TBH, I totally forgot that thread. Thought someone would PM with information and confirm that I could turn up.

So spent the day installing some bits for my PC, then went to see Beowolf in 3D.

Did you miss me? Mwahh!

 

[[TW]Fox]

What? The location and postcode were posted in the thread. You don't need permission to turn up

Besides, I'm new to all this rolling road stuff, M4 convoy stuff.

 

[Begbie]

Still no pics!

I don't have a digi-cam.

I've used it and it looks fantastic, I can only conclude you painted your calipers pink on purpose and are how trying to cover your tracks.

I used Halfords heat proof paint to touch up my red Brembos a while ago and it was a perfect match, im sure that was the paint i used <<<scratches head thinking

Me too, I turned up in my shed at Powerstation after saying I would turn up. Really simple. I didn't convoy, just plodded along all by myself from Bournemouth.

And why did you paint your calipers? Next you'll say you've painted your drums too...

Pah we did my Uncles Nissan Prairie's bottom half in underseal, and that was because the bottoms of the doors,wings and sills were practically non existant, two tone for the win tbh
