Troubleshooting
Uneven spray or splattering
Ensure the can was shaken sufficiently for 2 minutes. Try spraying from the recommended distance of 15-25cm. If the nozzle is blocked, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear it. Clean the nozzle tip if necessary.
Paint not adhering properly or peeling
Verify that the brake caliper/drum surface was thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and dried before application. Ensure the paint was applied in thin coats and allowed adequate time to cure. Check if the temperature was within the recommended 15°C-25°C range during application.
Color appears dull or faded quickly
Confirm that the paint was applied in sufficient thin coats for full coverage. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and that the paint is genuine Autotek Caliper Paint. Note that extreme environmental conditions may eventually affect any finish, but this product is designed for resistance.
