Looking to paint the calipers on my civic, do I use the proper caliper paint from halfords or can I use Hammerite??

Depends what colour your using, Red hammerite is an arse to get to cover properley, ive used it on mine and I have the sneaking suspicion that after their first trackday and getting decently hot im going to have pink calipers. :-D Black should be fine, i would have thought.

Do not waste your time with anything you can do yourself.
Beleive me i have been there and done it!
Get it to a specialist like H Tech. Box them up and post them done to him and they will come back new.

You did a great job mate, i tried to follow your guide but did not have the same facilities and probably patience!

You'll work it out

If you don't I'll explain it at the next meet.

back to the topic in hand

I have neither the time or the skill to try something like this and therefore would always pay a pro to do the job for me.
