FAQs

How much paint do I need for my calipers?

One 400ml can is usually sufficient for a set of four calipers, depending on the size and number of coats applied.

Do I need to remove the calipers from the car?

It is recommended, but not essential. Removing the calipers allows for better access and a more thorough paint job. If painting them on the car, mask off surrounding areas.

What kind of preparation is needed?

Thorough cleaning, removal of rust, sanding, and degreasing are essential for proper paint adhesion and a professional finish.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times vary. Check the product label for specific instructions, but generally, allow several hours for the paint to dry to the touch and a full 24 hours for complete curing.

Is this paint resistant to brake fluid?

Yes, the paint is designed to be resistant to brake fluid and other chemicals.

Can I use this on other parts of my car?

While designed for calipers, you could use it on other high-temperature parts, but ensure proper surface preparation for any application.

What safety precautions should I take?

Work in a well-ventilated area. Wear a respirator or mask to avoid inhaling paint fumes. Wear gloves and eye protection.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and ensure you are holding the can the correct distance from the surface. Avoid spraying too much paint in one area.
