OK, looking to paint my front calipers 'fast red' Anybody used any Rattle cans for this purpose? Can anyone recommend something? I don't want to pull the things completely apart and powder coat them wink

Well seeing as I have Black Wheels with chrome rims, the Red Calipers should look good showing through smile Not sure about replacing the Viper Logos? Don't think vinyl would survive the Heat

I've used some hi temp paint from Halfords in the past that was pretty good.
I'll drop you the details later.

Hey matey,Neil made me some viper logos for my uk
srt-10 calipers,they were excellent and stood up to the heat
with zero probs.
That said, i never tried a 180mph to a dead stop braking test.biggrin
Sorry Neil if i`ve just given you a job.

If you get them powder coated, does this mean you have to completely disassemble them?
