Mine were done with hammerite and they are ok. They have started to flake every so slightly though. Couldve been spilt brake fluid though that caused that.

i used the red caliper paint on my astra when i had it it came up really well but it was 93 and took ages preppin em wi the corrosion an rust....
if they're in gd nick u'll get a top finish usin the kit.....just the one u buy in the likes of halfords
IMO red doesnt look tacky as most sports cars like porsche etc have em red....i did me own silver for a change but can't warm to ppl usin lairy greens/golds etc

agreed i used smooth finish hammerite, i went for silver it looks better all nice and shiney, preperation is the key but the best thing about hammerite is you can paint it straight onto rust
