FAQs
How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?
The paint requires approximately 12 hours at 20°C to fully cure. It's crucial to allow this full curing time before operating the vehicle.
Can I paint my brake calipers without removing the wheels?
Yes, the product can be used with or without disassembling the calipers. However, it is essential to thoroughly mask all surrounding components, especially moving brake parts, friction elements, and cables, if the wheels remain on.
What type of surface preparation is required?
You need to clean the surface with 240-360 grade sandpaper, then degrease it thoroughly to ensure optimal adhesion.
How many coats should I apply?
It is recommended to apply 2-3 thin coats for best results, with a 10-minute interval between each coat.
What is the recommended spraying distance?
Apply the paint from a distance of 20-30 cm for an even finish.
Does this paint prevent rust?
Yes, the formulation includes anti-corrosive properties to help protect the brake calipers from rust and degradation.
Can I use this paint on other parts of the car?
This paint is specifically formulated for high-temperature brake calipers. While it may adhere to other metal surfaces, its high-temperature resistance is its primary feature, and its suitability for other applications may vary.
Troubleshooting
Uneven paint application or "tiger stripes"
Ensure consistent distance and speed while spraying. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Shake the can thoroughly before and during use.
Paint not adhering or peeling
The surface was likely not properly cleaned or degreased prior to application. Ensure all grease, brake dust, and grime are removed. Sanding the surface provides a better anchor for the paint.
Runs or drips in the paint finish
Sprayed too close to the surface or applied too heavily. Allow adequate drying time between coats and maintain the recommended spray distance.
Low gloss or dull finish
The can may not have been shaken sufficiently, or the paint was applied in inconsistent thicknesses. Ensure proper shaking and even coat application. Ensure full cure before exposing to elements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key:
Clean Surface: Use 240-360 grade sandpaper to roughen and clean the caliper surface.
Degrease: Ensure the surface is completely free of grease, oil, and brake fluid.
Masking: If not disassembling, meticulously mask off all surrounding parts, including brake discs, pads, cables, and any moving brake components. Do not allow paint to contact friction elements or moving parts.
Application:
Shake Can: Vigorously shake the can for at least 2 minutes before use.
Apply Coats: Spray 2-3 thin, even coats from a distance of 20-30 cm, allowing approximately 10 minutes between each coat.
Drying & Curing:
Touch Dry: Approximately 30-60 minutes at 20°C.
Full Cure: Approximately 12 hours at 20°C. Allow full cure before driving.
Care:
Clean painted calipers gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the finish.
