I did my front discs with K & (something) roll bar paint a few months ago and so far none of it shows any signs of degrading. Previously I have used engine enamel but that didn't last very well. Never had any caliper paint when I needed to paint discs.

yeah I reckon. Last time I heard a mate got his clubsport detailed to this level (polish and cleaned interior) he paid 1000 bucks and was more than happy to do so.

I am currently jobless so what ever cash in hand jobs like that help. Doing bit of everything atm.
