Description

Caliper paint is a unique formula that can be found sold in auto centres, garages, and certain online stores. It differs from house paint, craft paint, or other forms of paint in its chemical makeup. It's designed to better adhere to metal, resist the wear and tear a car will experience both on the road and from weather conditions, and it has extreme heat-resistant properties. This not only allows it to protect your calipers, but avoid flaking off over time. Apply the sheet carefully and precisely, so that there are no gaps where paint could leak onto the rotor.

Caliper paint must fully set and cure before you begin driving. If it doesn't, the paint may smear, flake off, or leave blank patches on the brake calipers. Worse yet, damp paint is not completely heat resistant. Your brakes get very hot as they're used, and while dried paint can withstand temperatures of up to 300 degrees Celsius, wet paint cannot. Now, your calipers should gleam and shine with their brand new paint. To finish off the look, you could clean your alloys and tyres. How Long Does Caliper Paint Take To Dry?

Can I Paint My Brake Caliper Different Colours?

Make sure the surface is dry, then apply paint with brush provided in a thin, even coat avoiding runs or droplets. Leave to dry for 30 minutes before applying a second coat. Repeat process until desired effect is achieved. Leave to dry for a further 2 hours before refitting the wheels. The vehicle should not be driven for a further 24 hours to allow paint to harden. On some surfaces you may need to apply two or three coats to achieve the desired finish. Over time, your car's brake calipers may become rusty; the once-silver appearance now looks tarnished, patchy, and dark brown. Painting the brake calipers not only makes the car look smart, but it can also increase the lifespan of the calipers and value of your car.

Ensure the valve is completely covered. Overlapping the layers of masking tape may help to keep paint from leaking into the joinsYou can use a wire brush to remove the worst of the rust and then scrub the caliper with a damp cloth. Alternatively, you can use a special brake cleaner and a small brush, such as a toothbrush, to remove the dirt from your brake discs and calipers. Step 3: Prepare The Calipers

Once 3-4 layers have been applied (perhaps more, until the paint is evenly coated), leave the paint to dry fully. This could be up to 24 hours, depending on the paint you've used.Firstly, take off the front retainer clip and then cover the bleeder valve using masking tape to protect it No matter your choice, when painting the calipers, be sure to avoid painting the brake discs or surrounding areas. Doing so may impact the functionality of your brake discs, making it hard to stop your car once it's in motion. Likewise, splashing paint on the surrounding parts can lead to jamming or an unclean appearance. To prevent this, you can either apply tape to cover these parts or remove the brake calipers altogether, so they can be painted individually. How To Paint Brake Calipers This is an important step - the more time you spend preparing the calipers, the better and neater the finish will be. Remove wheels from the vehicle following the manufacturer’s guidelines. Use steel brush to remove loose dirt & rust deposits from the surface to be painted. Use brake parts cleaner to remove all traces of grease, dirt, dust, brake fluid, oil and moisture from surface to be painted. It is not necessary to remove brake calipers or drums prior to painting, although masking-up of brake hoses, bleed screws & other rubber components in the surrounding area is strongly recommended. Open paint and stir thoroughly.

Once this is done, take a large plastic sheet or bin bag, and use it to cover the brake rotor entirely.
