FAQs

Do I need a primer or hardener for this paint?

No, this is a unique one-part paint system that requires no mixing with hardeners or priming.

What is the maximum temperature this paint can withstand?

The paint is heat-rated to 220°C.

Can I use this paint on exhaust components?

While it is heat-resistant, it is primarily formulated for brake calipers and engine bays. For exhaust systems, high-temperature exhaust paint is recommended due to higher operating temperatures.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but specific drying times for recoating and full curing should be checked on the product packaging.

Can I use leftover paint for touch-ups later?

Yes, the container is resealable, allowing you to use the remaining paint for touch-ups and reapplication at a later date.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides an outstanding, high-quality, long-lasting lustre finish.

How should I clean painted brake calipers?

Clean painted surfaces with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Re-prepare the surface and apply thin coats.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent application speed and pressure.

Paint is peeling after a short period

The surface may not have been adequately prepared, or the heat resistance limit was exceeded. Ensure proper cleaning and that the painted components do not exceed the 220°C rating.

Paint is too thick or sticky

Ensure the product has not been stored for excessively long periods or in extreme temperatures. Stir thoroughly before use, but do not thin the paint unless explicitly instructed by the manufacturer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup & Application:

  1. Preparation: Thoroughly clean the surface to be painted. Remove all dirt, grease, oil, and brake dust using an appropriate degreaser. For best results, lightly abrade the surface with sandpaper or a wire brush.
  2. Masking: Mask off any surrounding areas or components you do not wish to paint.
  3. Application: Apply the paint directly from the can. Multiple thin coats are recommended over one thick coat. Ensure even coverage.
  4. Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats, as specified on the product packaging. The paint is touch-dry quickly but requires longer for full curing.

Compatibility:

This paint is suitable for brake calipers, engine bay components, and other metal parts exposed to moderate heat and chemical elements. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Care:

Clean painted surfaces with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the painted area. For maintenance, the resealable can allows for easy touch-ups if minor scratches or chips occur.
