Hammerite is ok but not what it used to be due to the interfering sh!ts from the e.c outlawing the solvents used in the original product  >:( best of a bad job I suppose :-/ choose your colour to go with your body colour my Mig is black and after much consideration I chose gold for the calipers and I think it looks good

Go for a slightly darker shade and the copperslip will blend in so you don't even notice it. :-X
