FAQs

Can I use this paint on brake discs?

No. You must never apply this paint to friction surfaces such as brake discs or pads, as it will affect braking efficiency and safety.

What is the heat limit for this paint?

The paint is rated for temperatures up to 150°C.

Do I need to prime the calipers first?

While the paint is designed for good adhesion, ensuring the surface is perfectly clean and degreased is the most important step for a lasting finish.

What is the minimum temperature for application?

For best results, apply the spray in environments of 18°C or higher.

Will this protect against rust?

Yes, it provides a protective layer that helps prevent corrosion and chemical damage on metal surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Paint is running or sagging during application

You are likely applying the paint too heavily. Use lighter coats and allow for proper flash-off time between layers.

Paint is flaking or peeling shortly after application

This is usually caused by inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the caliper is completely degreased, dry, and free of brake dust before painting.

Spray nozzle is clogging

Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds after each use to clear the nozzle of residual paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable protection against rust and corrosion
  • High-temperature resistance up to 150°C
  • Provides a clean, professional aesthetic finish
  • Compatible with both cars and motorbikes

Cons

  • Requires careful masking of surrounding parts
  • Sensitive to application temperature below 18°C
  • Not suitable for friction surfaces or moving parts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure safety and longevity, never apply this product to any moving parts or friction surfaces, such as brake pads or the contact area of the discs, as this will compromise braking performance. Always mask off the bleed nipples and piston seals before spraying. After application, allow the paint to cure fully according to the manufacturer's timeframes before driving the vehicle. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh acidic wheel cleaners directly on the painted surfaces, opting instead for pH-neutral soap and water to preserve the vibrancy of the red pigment.
