the high temp paint dries really fast, i put about 3 to 4 coats on each caliper and it only took me about 2 to 3 hours to do. It came out amazing.
I do have to say, you don't need to sand it down. You WILL have to wire brush it, then wipe it clean. Put 2 coats of primer (so that it covers over any brake dust marks) and then put about 3 to 4 coats of the high temp paint. There is no need to clear coat it at all. You can also paint the pads so that it matches the calipers. |
