as said before, any metal paint is useable, its all in the prep. i used hamerite blue and mixed it with hamerite white to get a baby blue. this has stayed on perfectly fine.

I painted the engine in the 25 with yellow hammerite getting on for 5 years ago now. It's dulled down slightly, but other than that is still as good as it was when i first painted it.

Plus i've also painted up the calipers with hammerite and even after over cooking a set of pads the pait is still on there.
