No. You must not paint any friction surfaces, including brake discs or pads, as this will compromise your vehicle's stopping ability.
The formula is designed as a standalone finish. A clear coat is not required, though some users choose to add one for extra gloss.
Yes, it is formulated to be chemical-resistant; however, any spilled brake fluid should be wiped off immediately to prevent surface staining.
One 400 mL can is generally sufficient for all four calipers on a standard passenger vehicle if applied correctly in light coats.
For best results, remove all loose rust and corrosion with a wire brush or sandpaper before painting. The paint adheres best to clean, bare metal.
This usually indicates the surface was not properly degreased. Strip the paint, clean thoroughly with a professional brake cleaner, and re-apply.
Ensure you are shaking the can for at least two minutes before use and maintaining a consistent distance while spraying.
Check the ambient temperature; if it is below 18°C, the curing process will be significantly delayed. Move to a warmer environment if possible.
To ensure optimal results, remove the calipers if possible, or use masking tape and paper to protect the brake lines, discs, and wheel wells. Only apply when the ambient temperature is at least 18°C. After painting, avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the calipers for at least one week to ensure the finish has hardened. For routine maintenance, wash with soap and water to keep the finish looking new. Always wear protective gear, including a mask and gloves, to avoid inhalation or skin contact with the spray mist.
