View Full Version : Brakes...Paint for....
Taking the front brakes apart this afternoon to check hub / disk tolerances to try and cure my wheel wobble...
Whilst its all off I will be re-painting the calipers / disk bells but dont want to use Smootherite Gold again as its too yellow imaho... does anyone know where I can get a good quality high temp gold paint for the calipers?
Just do them black so you don't look like a posing Brembo wannabe fcuktard ;) :D
Halfords £4.99 hi temp paint FTW :thumbs:

Sorry, i've just come back from reading threads on DW and had forgotton to change my keyboard voice :wack:
:notworthy good giggle concept that one - bulletin board split personalities
:o Sorry, What i actually meant was 'Why not go with a more subtle and available colour? Black looks really nice when kept clean - nice and discreet and purposeful. Gold can have the tendency to make it look like you are trying to give of the impression you have expensive Brembos. Halfords do some good chgeap cans of hi-temp black, it's only about 4.99 and would go a long way :)'
:wack:
Lol @ fcuktard - sounds like something a 12 year old would say on counterstrike !! :D
I agree i would go black - easier to keep looking nice :)

I have considered all the other colours and think Gold is the best colour on an S14a in Sapphire Blue :thumbs:

i just used a two pack, admittedly a rather high grade one from work, but the temp limits should not be to far off automotive stuff

What paint did you use Paul? - they look darker than mine and I dont think they are dirty some how :p
Do you get wheel wobble at a constant speed - like around 60-70?
I had used brake caliper paint from halfords on my past 2 cars - pretty cheap and gives a good finish, once you take your time. They don't have a huge range of colours though. I have used the red and the yellow before.

Yup... only a tiny bit mind...
I just used Hammerite red and white.
