Does anyone know where to get some hi-temp paint for me calipers in lime green?
Ive looked all over - Repco, Supercheap, Auto-one, internet. No luck.
Thinking of doing something like this for next time it's on the track. (Thoughts? Criticisms?) Just a rough photoshop job.

www.ppcco.com.au might have what you need. But the colour could be a bit difficult.

Used on range of car parts and boats years ago, lasted very well.

nah just polish them like i did. paint will come off to easily if you paint them whenever you undo or do them up.
could always anodize them

Yeah true much stuffing around, brush touching them when on there tightened.

Cheers fellas. I must have looked at an old product list from VHT. They had lime green listed but it was discontinued. Will get onto them.
For wheel nuts was just going to order a spare set of covers and paint them the same colour as the wheels.

don't run the nut caps on the track. they will melt on or fall off. (speaking from experience)

If you want green caliper paint you might have to go eBay or Demon Tweeks in the UK.

Look for Foliatec IIRC. They have a hundred colours.
