Or caliper/drum paint from Halfords? It's no dearer than hammerite anyway last time I got some.

i've used hammerite and orange brake caliper paint from ebay and both have been fine.

as long as it's high temp paint it should be fine.

just need to decide between brush on stuff or spray.

The reason they call it hammerite, christopher is because youre are suppose to dip the end of a hammer in the paint and then hammer it on so it sticks better.
