I used a 1/2" brush and an artists brush for the fiddly bits..Two coats but give them a good clean with pre paint before applying the Smooth Hammerite.
Good luck

Dear All Users,

Please keep this polite and friendly.

Attack the facts, not the people.

http://www.civinfo.com/forum/site-su...6-a.html#post1

Some tips:
  • Critically analyse every word you've written first before punching SUBMIT REPLY and think about how people will see it from various angles, not just yours.
  • Attack the argument and never the arguer. This will give you credibility in anything you wish to counter whatsoever.
  • Where possible don't react. Instead respond.
  • Never bull*****. If you don't have hard facts to back up your claim then just don't say anything at all, because if your statement is entirely subjective or proven false you'll get mauled.
  • If you do get ganged-up on, take a step back and shut up for a while. They may or may not have a valid point. Review your posts and look at them critically. If you feel the protagonists are wrong, give sound unemotional reasons why you think so with no name-calling. If you feel they are nonetheless right, pull your head in and apologise. No harm done and everybody soon forgets the outburst. People might recall the good guys but they sure as ***** never forget the arseholes.
  • And be very careful when you've had a drink or two.

Didn't paint the pads, just the hangers and caliper itself.

Besides if you weren't neat with the brush then a sharp knife would 'slice/scrape' the excessive paint off.

A little prep time does wonders. Just take your time to cover up and then splash the paint.

Pop into a motor factor and get some of that brake dust cleaner. The can in the Foliatec is never enough.

Personally I used an old nail brush and plenty of elbow grease.
