    Hey guys.

    Well ive lent some of this off a mate at work to do my calipers.

    He did not include the instructions tho lol

    Now i no when you paint your cailpers its usually best to leave them a while to harden before you drive the car, but this kit had a harder that you mix with the paint. so im just wondering how much would i mix with the paitn per caliper and would it be ok to use the car before you usually would??

    Aslo when painting the caliper is there anything you SHOULDNT paint?

    Like is it ok to paint the bit a metal that clips in the front of the caliper?

    Never done this before and dont wana mess it up lol

    lols.........

    i used hammerite on mine

    paint went everywhere, was a red streaks on the disc for a while...

    id say use a pea size blob of hardner per caliper. to much will mean youll have top paint quicker lol

    Not sure about the mix but I just tried to avoid the bleed nipple, hose, pads, disc and any other moving parts that obviously shouldn't of been painted.

    I then drove straight after while it was still wet as I was late for work..
