   Alreet,
   Just wanted to know if there was any specific time required to wait between painting your calipers and driving the car again? I been told three days to allow paint to dry. I was plannin on using hammerite and cant really be not drivin for that long. Is this true?

   Just give them a couple of hours until they are touch dry and then pop your wheels back on any they'll be fine mate
