No, you must never paint friction surfaces such as brake pads, discs, or any braking faces as it will interfere with vehicle safety.
While not strictly required, ensuring the metal surface is perfectly clean and degreased is the most important step for adhesion.
One 400 ml can is typically sufficient for all four brake calipers on a standard passenger vehicle.
Yes, it is formulated to be resistant to chemicals, including brake fluid, once fully cured.
It is not recommended. Application at lower temperatures can lead to poor adhesion, uneven finishes, and longer drying times.
Refer to the specific instructions on your product label, as curing times can vary based on humidity and temperature.
Apply thinner coats and allow more drying time between passes. Keep the spray nozzle at the recommended distance from the surface.
This usually indicates improper surface preparation. Ensure the part was fully degreased and free of loose rust before painting.
The application temperature may be too low. Ensure you are working in an environment that is 18°C or higher.
To achieve the best results, start by removing the wheels to gain full access to the brake assembly. Thoroughly clean the calipers or drums to remove all dirt, grease, and loose rust—using a wire brush and a dedicated brake cleaner is highly recommended. Ensure the surface is completely dry and degreased before starting. Mask off all surrounding areas, specifically avoiding any friction surfaces like brake pads, the braking face of the rotors/discs, and any moving pivot points or rubber seals. Apply the paint in a well-ventilated area when ambient temperatures are at least 18°C. Always refer to the specific drying and curing times listed on the product label before reinstalling your wheels.
