Hi,
What products have you used to paint your calipers?
I used hammerite the first time around and it did a really good job. The next time I used some caliper paint in an aerosol but that wasn't so good as it been chipped where the tire fitters had knocked the wheel in to them.
I need to do them on the GTI and I was wondering what to use and if you guys could recommend me something that you've had good results with?

The caliper paint that halfords sell has lasted alright on two 306s I have used it on. It doesn't dry very hard though until it has been exposed to temperature which seems to bake it on. It has a glossy finish so brake dust can be wiped off, and a small tin is more than enough for a car, if not 2 or 3.
