Im after painting my callipers on my MC. Ive got an Electric Blue Cooper wth White Wheels, Stripes, Roof and Mirrors, so think it would look ace if I could paint the callipers in Electric Blue!!

I imagine it will be hard to get hold of heat resistanmt paint in Electric Blue, but Ive been told I would be ok to use normal aerosol spray, as your brakes never get hot enough (unless you do teackdays, etc) to benefit from using high temp paint or hammerite, and I know I can get electric blue made up at halfords!?? Would this be fine!?? Ive also seen someone paint around the lip of the hub and the brake disc, which looked really cool, would you recommend this, and this wouldnt affect the braking of the car in anyway would it!??

Cheers

I'm pretty sure you need heat resistant paint in which case you couldn't buy it in electric blue but maybe you could buy some blue radiator paint that is similar in colour as I don't think it would have to be a perfect match to look good.

i've painted mine too. at first i used a normal spray can but then the gloss began to fade so got some heat resitant paint from deomon tweeks. looks 10 times better now!! i would reccomend that you see how the spray can does with a little lacquer and if it doesnt look too good get the closest blue you can find from demon tweeks.
