I am going out today to get the Hammerite for doing my brakes on the Mini, both front callipers and both rear callipers, and was wondering how much you think I need, as Im not sure how thick the layers need to be, etc!!

I think the smallest tub they do is 250ml, will that be enough??

Cheers

so for 3 thin layers, will the small 250ml tub be enough??

the reason I ask is Ive been mixing the smooth blue and smooth white hammerite, and have got a really good match to my Mini, but dont know if I have enough hammerite now, and if I run out, Im positive when I mix them again, I wouldnt get the same colour, lol

Samll tub is enough, you'll only use a 3rd of it.

Hammerite is designed for one application only. Can do two coats though.
