FAQs

How many coats of paint are recommended?

It is generally recommended to apply two thin, even coats for the best finish and durability. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Can I use this paint on exhaust tips?

No, this paint is not suitable for exhaust pipes or engine parts that exceed 150°C. It is designed for brake calipers and similar components with lower operating temperatures.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes a 500ml Brake Cleaner aerosol, a 250ml Caliper Paint tin in grey, and a brush for application.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product packaging for specific drying and curing times. Generally, allow sufficient time between coats and before the vehicle is used.

Can the paint be used on plastic or rubber parts?

This paint is specifically formulated for metal components like brake calipers and wheel hubs. It is not recommended for use on plastic or rubber.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

The paint can be resealed after use and stored for future touch-ups. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How do I clean the painted calipers?

Clean painted calipers with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased with the brake cleaner. Re-clean the surface and allow it to dry completely before reapplying.

Uneven finish

Apply thinner coats and ensure even brush strokes. If the paint is too thick, it can lead to runs and an uneven appearance. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint bubbling or peeling after application

This can occur if the surface was not properly prepared or if the component exceeds the maximum operating temperature (220°C for calipers, 150°C for other parts). Ensure correct application and temperature limits are respected.
