I wondered if it would be a good idea (for me at least seen as everything I have is bare metal at the moment :-D !) to do a 'paint audit'! Who has used what, and for which bits...

I am thinking I will/may need to paint the following...

Brake callipers
Engine block
Chassis
Engine mounts
Bodywork (aluminium sides/back)
Bodywork (GRP)
Wheels?
Pedal box

I may have missed stuff, but this seems like a basic start. Tips on what to use?

Brake callipers - Halfords Caliper paint
Engine block - Factory Finish / Untouched
Chassis - POR 15 on bare metal then chassis black on top
Engine mounts - Same as Chassis
Bodywork (aluminium sides/back) - Vinyl Wrap
Bodywork (GRP) - Its gel coated to save the trouble
Wheels? - Powerdoated black
Pedal box - Same as chassis but with SA grip tape on pedals
