Any recommendations for calliper paint or is Halfrauds as good as any? I'm looking at the brush on type.

My Callipers could do with a refresh as they are looking a bit scabby at the moment. I'll be doing the centres of the discs while I'm on as they aren't much better than the callipers.
 
I have used it on many cars and never had an issue with it flaking off etc.

It's excellent stuff and is fairly cheap to buy as well :)
 
Another vote for the Hammerite Smooth used it last year and still looking good

I used hammerite as well on my hubs but I used FOLIATEC paint on my calipers as they do lots of different colours,
the paint is a 2pac paint and hardener that you mix together and brush on I cant recommend it enough used it on a few
different motors now I personally wouldn't use anything else I done mine in carbon grey metallic.
just make sure you give them a really good clean up I used a wire brush then some coarse sandpaper then used the
can of spray cleaner that comes with the paint it did take me all day to do it with the car up on axle stands, and I only mixed half
the tin of paint and hardener together at a time as the paint does go off pretty quick
 
i got the Foliatec blue one hoping its a close match for the BMW logo

Just need a nice day to do it

Has everyone painted the inner side of caliper or just outer and top?
 
How easy is it to remove and strip the front calipers to do a decent repaint on a Z4 3.0 caliper?
 
I prefer the Halfords paint over Hammerite. Very long lasting (5 years) easy to apply and dries so quick a second layer can go on by the time all 4 have been painted.

Cleaning and prep is as mentioned the key to a good job.
