I used some of this recently - See Brake caliper paint. Worked really well, and left a pretty good finish. It is a paint on solution, maybe a spray would leave a better finish.

If you do get it, then I recommend that you just mix as much as you need.

Not sure this is in the wrong section - Not RS2 specific. Still want it moving?

I've used Foliatec (?). As Phil says you can mix just a small amout, I used a marked up syringe ( always have a few lying around [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]) and it is then easy to keep the proportions correct ... really messy when it doesn't set [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
