Spray paint FTL!

No matter how good your prep is, using the brake paint in spray can form is just too thin and chips easily. And the only way to ensure no overspray is to remove them from the car.

I use Killrust enamel in a tin and apply using a small brush. Can do a caliper in a bout 20 mins. The paint is thicker and bakes on hard and is so much more durable.

Ive got one caliper to go on the wifes Gen4 GT. :D

Heres a pic of my calipers (08 GT B calipers anyway ;) )....
