This Foliatec GT Blue brake caliper and engine lacquer is for automotive enthusiasts looking to enhance the visual appeal of their vehicle's braking system and engine bay. Its key benefit is providing a brilliant, high-gloss, durable finish that is heat-resistant up to 300°C. A caveat to note is that the final color may vary slightly due to lighting and screen differences, and neon colors require a special basecoat. This three-part system includes all necessary application tools and is designed for easy preparation and application without dismantling parts.
