Post by: swf7y on January 11, 2011, 04:32:20 pm

How would you do it? Powder coat, foliatec, hammerite smooth etc... Which is the best way?

I used Halfords caliper paint a few years ago, brushed on, but it started to come off after 6 months.  May have been down to not cleaning them properly first.  So make sure you do!!

Put me to shame Stealth  :grin: I guess power coating is best and painting easiest. Hmmm... Need to have a think about this one.

Didn't take me five minutes to type powder brake into the search engine and come up with those. The info's all there but you just have to search for it.

Or you could just contact DaveB :grin:
