No. You must never apply this paint to friction surfaces such as brake discs or pads, as it will affect braking efficiency and safety.
The paint is rated for temperatures up to 150°C.
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.
For best results, apply the spray in environments of 18°C or higher.
Yes, it provides a protective layer that helps prevent corrosion and chemical damage on metal surfaces.
You are likely applying the paint too heavily. Use lighter coats and allow for proper flash-off time between layers.
This is usually caused by inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the caliper is completely degreased, dry, and free of brake dust before painting.
Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds after each use to clear the nozzle of residual paint.
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.
