Just a quick one, the yellow calipers. What did you use to paint them? I am about to refurb a set and want to give them a spruce up (prob not yellow though :wink: )

I used VHT brand brake caliper paint, it's available from most auto parts shops.
The yellow is pretty thin, needs a lot of coats. Red covers better.
Also beware, brake fluid will lift it, so be careful when bleeding- hose them afterwards if you spill any.
