Going to get booked in for refurb and powder coating - probably stick with standard colour?. Callipers looks scruffy so may look to having them painted. Any suggestions as to colour or again, keep standard?

Easily acheivable at home with a can of smooth hammerite and some masking tape / wire brush to clean up

As for wheel colour. In keeping with the cars colour i would opt for silver

I’ve found that Halfrauds seem to have stopped selling Hammerite so after much deliberation I tried their Nitromors version they now carry. Very impressed actually, I would say even better than Hammerite.
Just attached a piccy - Nitromors went on very nice and seems more glossy than Hammerite. 9A91F67F-5120-41D8-8C9C-F9DCB787C0DD.jpeg

As above, I'd stick with silver for the calipers.
