Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful project, follow these guidelines:
- Preparation: Use a wire brush to remove any loose rust from the caliper housing before wiping the surface down with a degreaser.
- Masking: Use automotive-grade masking tape and paper to cover all sensitive areas, including rubber seals and pistons. Never allow paint to touch the brake pad seating area.
- Application: Apply the paint in a well-ventilated area at ambient temperatures of at least 18°C. Shake the canister vigorously for two minutes before spraying.
- Curing: Follow the drying times specified on the label before reassembling the wheel. Avoid driving through water or extreme conditions immediately after painting to allow the finish to reach full hardness.
- Maintenance: Regularly clean your painted calipers with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh acidic wheel cleaners that might strip the coating.
