Plasticote

[GJUK]

Has anyone used this before on brake calipers? I noticed they're using a new 'water based enamel' which I'm not sure is as good as the older (possibly oil based) version was.

 

Any feedback on this stuff please?

 

Thanks

ive used plasticote but it was on a mates 190e front grill nice to use and dries quick with a good finish as for using it on calipers i have no idea mate

I've used it before and it is one of the best paints that I have used. I am going to do some calipers in it over the next few days so I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks, I heard (which might be wrong) that Vulcan use it on their engine blocks...

It is very good paint but bubbles if you use it with halfords primer- just for future reference.

I know an engine builder that uses it on he's blocks

I'm interested to hear if the waterbased stuff is as good though, I can only assume it is... I hope so anyway, my brakes are covered in it

I know he bought as many as he could get his hands on years ago to keep the same colour, so maybe they are the older type
