Thanks for that Andrew. I had a feeling it could be pretty warm alright as you see the discs glowing so the calipers have to get pretty warm too!! :shocked:

It’s actually only a family request but thought I’d look into it anyway & I seem to recall someone years back asking for similar for an exhaust!!

Probably should have Googled first but just found a UK brake caliper refurb crowd that have developed their own with the help of chemists specifically to be used on calipers! So probably best left to them :thumbsup:

I refurbed my calipers a few years ago…….painted with VHT paint, applied normal vinyl lettering then applied clear VHT lacquer.
Never had a problem with them.

Thanks for that John & as it’s only for family that would be worth a shot. Out of interest what sort of car do you have & do you ever do track days etc? These would be going in a Honda Integra Type R & possibly used for track days. And as Andrew noted above, temps can get considerably higher with this sort of use as opposed to general road use.

It’s a Boxster S……not into track days but it has done a few laps at the Nurburgring with me at the wheel :smiles:
