OK, so I have four freshly blasted calipers & carriers to go on my car in the next couple of weeks

As above, any particular manufacturer of VHT paint recommended by members from personal experience ?

Ta V much !

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

All the paint I have used is the same brand as eBay item eBay Item No. 350527948446.

It has done good service on calipers, discs and exhaust, even when I had a very hot binding caliper, the paint was unaffected. 2014 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography & 2015 3.0SDV6 HSE Lux Discovery 4

^^ Thanks, RRBlue, but the item appears not to be listed for viewing - can you recall the manufacturer ?
^ Stan - not sure if Hammerite is applicable to this kind of job ? I've just checked a rattle can of the stuff and there's no mention of heat resistance.

Funnily enough, the chap who blasted them for me thought that any decent primer & paint would do as the temperatures involved are not so high.
He's not seen me driving though . . .

Alternatives include "VHT" and "Hycote" . . . .

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

just looked on the hammerite site and i couldnt find any mention of temperature resistance..

what about halfords?

I read some online reviews for the Halfords stuff - not particularly well thought of ?
Great site below for restoration stuff:

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?
