Right you lovely members, would someone like to help me out?

Its a strange one but i'm being cheap.

I would like to paint the yellow writing white to go with the rest of the car, and basically I am asking if anybody can send me a small pot of white brake paint so I can do this without spending £15 on a brake paint kit to literally use 3ml of paint LOL



I doubt anybody has even painted their brakes white over the years as they must be a nightmare to keep clean...

But still worth a try.

Thanks in advance Thumbs up

Yeah I have red at home, my rears are currently that colour but I was hoping to match up the writing to the white wheels and stickers currently on my car. Cheers though

    Doesn't it need to be VHT paint?

    I have been debating that since I got them, but just seems a tad out of place as it is the only yellow on the car.

    Mine are white bu i havnt got any paint left im afraid. Why not do the writing red to match the back? Think white could look too much against the white wheels.
