Product Information

Full details

This E-Tech Brake Caliper Paint Set in Matt Black is designed for car enthusiasts looking to enhance the appearance of their vehicle's brake calipers. Its key benefit is providing a durable, high-quality finish that resists heat, corrosion, and chemicals without requiring disassembly. A potential consideration is that it's a one-part system, meaning it doesn't offer the same extreme temperature resistance as some two-part systems.

FAQs

Do I need to remove the brake calipers to paint them?

While not strictly required, removing the wheels provides much better access. For the best finish and to avoid painting other brake components, it is highly recommended to remove the wheels. The paint is designed to be applied without dismantling the caliper itself.

What is the maximum temperature the paint can withstand?

The E-Tech brake caliper paint is heat-rated to 220°C (428°F). This is suitable for most road driving conditions, including spirited driving, but may not be sufficient for extreme track use.

How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?

The paint is touch-dry in 30-60 minutes between coats. It requires at least 24 hours to cure sufficiently before refitting wheels and driving, with full hardness typically achieved within 48 hours.

Can I use this paint on other parts of the car?

This paint is specifically formulated for brake calipers. While it may adhere to other metal parts, its heat resistance and durability are optimized for caliper applications. It is not recommended for engine components or exhaust systems.

How much paint is in the tin?

The E-Tech brake caliper paint set includes a 250ml tin of enamel paint.

Do I need a primer or hardener?

No, this is a one-part paint system. It requires no mixing with hardeners and no separate primer is needed.

Can I touch up the paint later?

Yes, the resealable tin allows you to store any leftover paint for future touch-ups or repairs if needed.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well or peeling

Ensure the caliper surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Check that the paint was applied to a dry surface and that adequate drying/curing time was allowed between coats and before use.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply thinner coats of paint. Ensure the paint is stirred well before use. Work in consistent strokes and avoid over-brushing. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint not drying properly

Check ambient temperature and humidity; painting in cold or very humid conditions can slow drying. Ensure coats are not applied too thickly. Allow more time for curing, especially in cooler weather.

Paint blistering or bubbling

This can indicate moisture or contaminants on the surface before painting, or the surface being too hot during application. Ensure thorough cleaning and drying, and paint within the recommended temperature range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple, mess-free application process
  • Resistant to common automotive fluids and road contaminants
  • Cost-effective way to upgrade vehicle aesthetics
  • Provides good heat resistance for typical road use
  • Durable finish that lasts

Cons

  • Lower maximum heat rating (220°C) compared to some specialized track-use paints
  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal adhesion
  • Color options may be limited

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the handbrake is applied.
  2. For optimal results, remove the wheel to gain full access to the brake caliper.
  3. Thoroughly clean the brake caliper using the included 500ml spray cleaner. Remove all dirt, grease, brake dust, and loose rust.
  4. Allow the caliper to dry completely. A light sanding can improve adhesion if the surface is very smooth or heavily corroded.
  5. Using the provided brush, apply thin, even coats of the E-Tech brake caliper paint. Avoid applying too much paint in one go, which can lead to runs.
  6. Allow approximately 30-60 minutes drying time between coats (depending on temperature and humidity).
  7. A minimum of two coats is recommended for best coverage and durability.
  8. Allow at least 24 hours for the paint to cure before refitting the wheel and driving the vehicle. Full hardness is typically achieved within 48 hours.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most standard automotive brake calipers.
  • Ensure the surface temperature is between 10°C and 30°C during application for best results.

Care:

  • Clean calipers gently with water and mild automotive soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the painted surface immediately after application.
  • The resealable tin is ideal for storing any leftover paint for future touch-ups. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
