I've hammerited my 4 pot calipers in black as they were looking a bit dull behind my new Ultralite A-Tech's (from TSL) - any sggestions on getting a nice sharp finish to the lettering or is it just down to a steady hand and patience? This is on an RB5 so thinking maybe in red rather than the standard white.

I did mine a week ago and I wish I hadnt now
It looks like my 3 year old son did them with a 4" brush whilst having a severe case of hiccups

It is a case of a steady hand and taking your time.
i have looked into decals for them, but the ebay ones all seem to be for calipers that do not have the raised lettering, unless some kind soul can tell me otherwise.

i used Holts touch up paint for fridges (it's like tippex but a bit harder)

Or do what some people do and paint a layer of white paint on a block of wood and press it against the raised surface.

Touch up anything with a fine model brush.

Personally used a grout pen in white, looks **** but lifes too short

I used a mini roller that I got from some painting set. There was the usual "furry" one, and a sponge foamy type one. I used that and it come out pretty well.
