   I wouldnt really say that pic was ur car filthy. haha. I think yellow would be good too mate. How are you painting them? I used Hammerite on my punto. Turned out quite nice, but that was on the drum. Be harder doing callipers

    right people. iv heard 2 different things here. im going to paint my cali's yellow, and i need paint. i personally would use VHT (very high temperature) paint as obviously brakes get hot.
    
    but people say they used hammerite, and i didnt think that was heat proof???

    thanks for the idea but at 26 quid i doubt it
    
    i saw the yellow cali paint for a tenner, but its only a lil shity tin. i was wondering if i could just get normal vht paint any cheaper.
