Brushing is no problem. I used Hammerite on mine and got a very smooth finish. The only thing is, I would advise letting the paint cure for about 2 months before you handle them.
HTH
That is the problem with hammerite, it does take ages to cure. Thats why i went the two pack route, its baked then you can handle it straight away
Both are fine done well but both also have their problems.
Nice job with a brush BTW

Before anyone says anything, yes i did put in the pins and anti rattle gubbins, just hadn't at that point. One thing, did have to 'tweek' the fit on the brake pipes but they could have been sat on at the post office

Suppose i have just increased my chances of getting hit up the catflap but have at the same time reduced the risk of killing wildlife
Wouldn't mind but bet they wouldn't put the uprated brakes on a replacement if some twit wrote off this one

Bought me some black caliper paint from the bay,and painted them by hand and brush.The original red paint was heavily cracked and damaged in many places,but i had already spray painted the calipers black(mat) using a heat resistant paint.Now i wanted something more bling looking,and also original porsche looking so here are the results.This was done quite fast i must say,during an afternoon.Then the car rested for 3 days,then i placed the decals.

oh and sorry for the highjack groofosp!
by the way,i could have done a much better job by taking them off and scraping them down to bits with sandpaper,but i only did that a little bit so as not to scratch them around.Besides from afar you can't tell the little details that needed further attention!
thanks mate!
cheers
