Willy Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 High temperature paint is what you need. It'll last longer that the hammerite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiFiesta Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I agree. While drums don't get as hot as the front calipers, they can get hotter than standard spray paint is rated to. Best to be on the safe side and not potentially cause a brake fire. High temp paint is a bit more expensive but can also be used on our car's silly shiny standard back box, and other non-high temp applications.

Chrismawa Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Used Hammerite on my calipers and drums for years without issue. Although always used the pot of paint not the spray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I've always used Hammerite on calipers and drums no issue, both brush and spray. Used poundland rubbish on the Focus drums and it's still the same 2 years later...its not like the drums dissipate any heat anyway... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
