which sort of paint should I use to repaint the MY01 4 pot calipre that has now gone a sort of grubby grey color.

obviously, things get fairly hot so dulux is out :-) - so anyone got any good tips? enamel based paint? any brand recommendations.

Any brake caliper paint should do the trick such as Folia Tec.
You can pick out the 'SUBARU' lettering with an enamel model paint and should have no probs.

Hammerite is good, and comes in a range of colours. You do need special thinners (Xylene) though, or bin the brush you use, but that's a nuisance as I always find 2 coats at 30 minute intervals gives the best effect.

Try using a hammerite aerosol, no mess, and if you clever you can wipe the 'white' letters white again fater you've sprayed them.
