Well I painted my calipers red and they look great. Tedious job

I did actually use Halfords paint but Hammerite? (sp) Out of the two reds available, I chose the brighter Pillar box colour. I think the bare metal originals look terrible. I like both the numbers if you can afford em

thanx mate, didnt notice the owner/enthusiast distinction.

i've bought both no. plates but cant decide which 1 to put on my car and my bird's car!

I think that bare metal colour is actually cadmium plating. The heat oxidises it badly.

There is some special German caliper paint the Car Spares, Delamare Road, Cheshunt, Herts, if you're up that way.

That's assuming you have a problem with your current paint in the future.
