caliper paint or hammerite?

I see alot of you on here have used hammerite to paint your calipers, but I also know that hammerite is very flammable. Anyone had any problems with it?

 

I painted the crank case on a motorbike I used to have with black hammerite and from what I can remember it used to smell of burning paint evertime I stopped moving!

 

Also, anyone got a guide on how to remove them and ?

 

Cheers people.

If you want to paint them red then get some Plasti Kote bright red spray , it's much nicer than the Hammerite which I tried aswell.

 

Because the calipers won't be perfectly smooth I used some grey hammered finish spray first and then the bright red.

 

B&Q and Halfords sell the Plasti Kote spray paint.

 

I've never heard of anyone having problems with paint on the calipers melting.
