Brake Calipers

[candam]

I will be painting my brake calipers soon.

Have some questions?

What clear lacquer do you use for the lexus caliper stickers?

Went to Halfords and they could not guarantee that any of the clear lacquers they sold would be suitable for the job. Not heat resistant enough apparently.

Foliatek or Hammerite smooth?

Was told that Hammerite would not last as long, as Foliatek is specifically designed for brake calipers.

After painting calipers, how long should you leave before applying stickers?

That's all for now.

Hammerite is easier to use, get smooth. Lacquer I used was from big "H" and called Clearcote and it is heat resistant. I put stickers on the next day.

If you do a search ( see button above ) you will see quite a few bosts about "callipers paint".

Painted mine the weekend - dark blue Hammerite smooth.

Just washed calipers with car wash and tooth brush - left to dry (10 mins in this heat) and painted using small art brush - looks dead smart and very easy to do.

Now just waiting for chrome stickers to complete - not chosen laquer yet though ... B)
