Any photos of that Duncan? Just so I can see how bright a yellow it is.

Cheers.

Nothing overly decent, I'll get some tomorrow if I remember. The wheels/brakes are filthy though

I left mine on, just make sure its dry before you put the wheel back on tho. I had a drip on mine for ages

Thats with a pot of paint so no masking, spray paint is a lot of masking up

So i painted my calipers yesterday. I used the yellow hammerite. It looks really good fair play.

I went into my local B&Q and i was told not to use hammerite as it catches fire. lol. Was told to go to halfords and get some of there High temperature paint but sods law they didnt have any in yellow. So i thought bugger it. my mated dad used hammerite on his scooby and thats been fine.

Ill get some pics up next week when ive washed the car

everyone uses hammerite mate, I used red on my calipers and not had a problem yet!
not as if you're painting your engine with it so seems highly unlikely it'd catch fire
