Caliper paint

[JumpShip]

Sooo many brake caliper paints to choose from , is one better than another or are they all the same ?
Previously just used black engine enamel.
Got some T32 brakes to fit and thought maybe a coat of acid green (grey van) would brighten things up before i fit them.
(And try really hard not to scratch them while fitting) .
Anybody used this stuff before ?

Do you need to use primer before the coloured layer of paint?

Not if you use Foliatec, don't know about other brands

Foliatec 2k spray paint for the win.

I see a lot are aerosol paints and tend to think theyll go on too thin so as long as I can get a nice glossy finish with a brush then thats the way to go i think.
The only thing i dont like about the foliatec is that its only available as a 'kit' .
