		hammerite smooth from a spray tin gives a good finish i only use neat TRF from a pressure washer tank, rinsed with water to clean then with a brush so its quite hard wearing too

		remember good prep is the key for any paint finish
 also i found it easyer to stop runs buy spraying onto warm work surface with warm tins of paint
 when i did my wheels i had then under 500w halogen flood lamps so they were warm

		Awesome stuff. I've painted wheels, engines, brakes and even an exhaust with it and it always sticks. 
 Top tips are warm cans, warm surface and dont prep it too fine, 800 grit is probably fine.

 I got some brake calipers to paint so what do you guys think about using the spray for them? I usally use the normal stuff to do brakes

I was going to paint it anth. But I think it would be to much hassle to sand it all down to paint it properly then when I re attach it you know itll scratch. Where as hammerite it will look tidy still.

		I've used this on my brake callipers. Looks almost like a powder-coat finish. Resists the heat fine, and resist brake dust well too
