Has anyone used regular gloss to piant their calipers before, for example dulux.

I usually use hammerite but i would really like to pinat the calipers the same colour as the car, lightning silver and i cant find a close match anywhere in hamerite or international

Would be useless, surely hammerite smooth silver is close enough ? Only other option is to strip them and powder coat or spray in high temp paint

silver is just like the colour of the wheels and the car colour is very different to that.

Only ever used hamerite before and tbh that used to fade

Foliatec do a few colours, only 1 silver though, but they say you can mix the colours to make your own custom one

expensive stuff though

Maybe a high temp primer
