    B&Q sell Japlac paint which is good for high temperatures. Cant remember the exact figures but works great on break calipers with no flaking or cracks after months of use.

    B&Q also for hammerite, (im sure they do a gold :? ..) - always worked fine for VHT jobs. Raymotors too sell it & are closer to you!

    DMS BUT UNSURE ABOUT GOLD

    Gold is an odd colour, as the only thing that makes gold is gold.

    You could try the motorbike shops as they sell VHT paints.

    Why Gold?

    Ok, I got some hammerite gold spray. It better work under temp. as its for the calipers.

    I seen a black R32 with gold brakes and it looked real good, so as mine need redoin I thought y not. I can always change it if I dont like it :)

    I'm with Pugguy on this one, on my previous car I used Hammerite Gold (brush on) paint on my calipers - worked a treat. Just wire brushed the old paint and made sure any scale/corrosin was removed, wiped clean with thinners, waited till dry and applied a good thick coat and allowed a good amount of time to dry and cure.
