BITS4REASONS - NEW FORMULA E TECH BRAKE CALIPER PROFESSIONAL GRADE PAINT KIT- PERFORMANCE HIGH TEMPERATURE RATED TO 220 C BLACK

I ordered both the gloss Cobalt blue and red caliper paint for two Type R cars.Originally I had red paint on the blue car but fancied a change - the cobalt blue paint covered the red well (especially the patches I was unable to rub down) within 2 coats it was finished. I was over the moon with the outcome. I wanted the Type R sign to really pop so I used the red and a previous black I had and I wasn’t disappointed.Overall I was very impressed with the paint and colours. Definitely buy again.

I bought the gold paint, which looks more bronze-ish in reality - but that's great - very classy.As most reviewers say, it's all about good prep.It is easy to mess this up by applying the paint too thick. It is very like 'Smoothrite' so you need to get it right first time... do not attempt to over-brush mistakes. Let it dry and go again.The supplied brush is not great. Using a good quality brush makes a big difference.I used ½ tin of paint doing 3 coats front and 2 coats rear on my VW Touareg, which has big Brembo calipers.The metalic paint needs stirring a lot and brush strokes are apparent, so be careful.Overall, highly recomended.

Purchased this so I could attempt to colour my calipers myself (as opposed to paying someone £150 to do it).Biggest issue I had was preparing the calipers and freeing them of rust.The kit is comprehensive and included a tin of paint, a can of brake & clutch cleaner, a paint brush, stirrer and a pair of gloves.Once free of rust, and cleaned with the brake cleaner, It took roughly 3 coats to get the desired finish, and there is plenty of paint left for future touch-ups, having used approximately 1/3rd of a can.You need to leave each coat to dry for the required 30mins and once you are happy, it is recommended to leave for a full 24 hours before driving any great distance. This gives the paint a chance to fully harden. The first coat needs to be a light coat and subsequent coats can be thicker. Be sure to mask up any rubber areas, hoses etc.My only criticisms would be that the paintbrush could be of better quality and I would suggest purchasing an artists paintbrush for the intricate areas.It took me about 8 hours to complete all 4, but that included breaks, prep work and cleaning my wheels as well.I would definitely recommend this kit, and there are plenty of colours to choose from. Check the colour options though, as there are 2 matt options (red & black). All other colours are gloss. I chose Race Red which is gloss.If you feel up to painting your calipers yourself, then this kit won't dissapoint.

Very easy to apply, covers grate would buy again for definet

I'm really happy with this caliper paint kit. It comes with everything you need to complete the job...even gloves & cleaning brush! My son painted the calipers on his Corsa, & first person that viewed it commented on how good they looked & bought the car!Has high heat rating & is like an enamel finish, so should last ages. Contrast with black wheels looks really good, have enough left over for my wifes car👍

Good quality paint and you get everything you need to do the job with too. I have a Ford Focus Zetec S Red edition which had red brake calipers. But I had to have a new rear caliper and the others were starting to look tired so repainted them all and they look like new again. Very happy with the results

Great that it includes brake cleaner and all the accessories. Easy to get good coverage, colour matches well

The paint and calliper cleaner are excellent, the paint brush did the job but you might want to buy a finer one for the smaller detail , the supplied wire brush isn’t up to doing a decent job, not an issue for me as I have my own
