I've used it but it's definitely not perfect, it comes out a little too pale/silvery IMO. Haven't tried MCB though to compare as once it's on the caliper and you forget you touched it in, it's not noticeable.

Thanks Ennoch, thats helpful. I've ordered MCB code B05 as it looks the closest from pictures.

I actually spoke to a guy who does caliper refurbs etc and he said they fade because they're only printed on, you'd think they were under the lacquer but they're not.

This doesn't surprise me at all, looking into it further a lot of people just put the "heat resistant" stickers on. It's just the white M's on mine that have faded to stripes are still ok might leave them to completely fade off so just blue & then look at having them refinished at some point.

A polish will take them off

My Monte Carlo B05 arrived yesterday. Looks a shade too dark but still to try it out. Paints always seem to look different in the bottle though!
