I used hammerite too. Just make sure you spend the time prepping them to get a good finish!

Yea only thing is.. What's the drying time like on hammerite?

And how close is the smooth red to the original colour? Any pics?

Does look real close.. How well does it match the grill?

I opted for Brembo Red and it really sets the calipers off and matches the red grill trim a treat
