Me

I would be too.

me aswell

count me in

+1 if the price is decent.

+1

What price would you guys call decent and for what size tin? I'm looking into splitting big tins or maybe get loads if they have them of the 250 tins, I will be getting myself a tin tomorrow.

+1 if the price is decent.

This

Me please but as above. my brakes are flaking something rotten :(

Me for future reference

I'd want a full large tin, the shelf life is great with this stuff

and I already have some in stock that's open.

I doubt you'd beat the price I got mine for (£6 delivered 750ml )

but that was ages ago and the guy doesn't have anymore.

I'm in

Regards Whoosh

Just go to local paint shop and have the exact colour mixed up. 500 mill spray cost me about £7 the other week

ill take one

Count me in

I would defo be up for a tin if the price is reasonable.

Thanks

ok guys sorry to disaspoint but i went to get a few tins today and it turned out to be smooth dark green!! and on the phone i made sure it wasn't only to turn up and it was!!!!! i did however manage to get a tin of garage door paint which is good but i can't say anything about the performance of it yet!!

Doh! Unlucky...

Can't believe I gave away a third of a tin to a briskodian at the weekend for free....

Should have made him pay.... Mwhahahahah!

I'd be concerned of its high temperature properties.

That is true but I just sprayed my lcr calipers with normal paint! And hammerite isn't a heat resistant paint anyway, however the paint I have got is hammerite garage door paint it's a experiment that may or not pay off!

I'd be concerned of its high temperature properties.

I thought that too...

So I baked my calipers in an oven at 50-80c for an hour between each coat (about 10 coats)

once each coat was touch dry . That way each layer was going onto properly hardened paint,

time consuming... yes but as with any painting you get a better finish the more effort

you make.

No peeling yet, and the brakes get much hotter than that in service. Brakedust just

jetwashes off of mine leaving them looking just painted again. Very happy and surprised at the results.

The heard of the old oven bake technique. Does it not fume out your oven afterwards?

this pie tastes like callipers mmm..

Bought a tin from my local hardware store & they thought I was mad (wtf u gonna do with that?) as It was on the top shelf covered in dust.

I will see If they have more & how much it cost?

can you paint straight onto the callipers?

If it's touch dry before it goes in then fume wise there is no issue.

My oven never smelt of paint at all.

Here's my thread from when I did it.
