Nitin Hammeritre is your friend.

Hammerite goes soft when hot

As far as I'm concerned, Hammerite is no-ones friend. Short cut to the max, and doesn't play well with normal paint or thinners. I'd get a caliper paint kit on eBay like this one:

Colour of your choice, obviously.

...I used satin white Hammerite on my calipers, because it was free! Oh and I've not had a problem with it yet

I think I will get this. Cheers Indigo.

I used Gold Hammerite (yo!) on my track car and the paint is still in good condition.

Hey guys, i was thinking to put ATR calipers on my 4th generation, Vtec Prelude. Will they fit on my 15 inch OEM Enkei wheels, or do i need biger wheels? Thanks.

If you put the 300mm discs on with the calipers you'll definately need at least 16" wheels.

But if i leave stock discs (282) than calipers will fit on 15˝?

I don't think they will. With 300mm discs under 16's there is a mm or two to spare. 282mm discs will give you 9mm more clearance on the edge but the wheel size will reduce the clearance (vs 16") by around 12mm so I think you'll run out of space.

But, there's only 1 way to be sure...
