Great stuff
Absolutely in love. Red calipers to put the cherry on the cake and it's great stuff. Paint isn't too thick, it's a great consistency to apply thin layers. Brush was perfect too. We didn't follow the instructions on the box entirely, the wheels were fitted back on about 30 minutes after last coat was touch dry as it was done in a well ventilated garage. Also had to drive the car that night despite the 24hr wait instruction. Drove around 6 hours after last coat and hasn't caused any issues. Still intact and strong, survived a power wash two days later. Paint hasn't budged, I'm very happy.

Caliper Paint
Thought I'd give my Calipers a new look,decided to go for the White to match the rest of the Van,have to say I wasn't sure if I'd made the right choice but in my biast opinion they have come up really well,The Kit itself is an awesome little kit,the paint covers the Calipers really well,you will hardly use it as it goes on so well,I gave 3 coats per Caliper and was still left with way over half a tin.I would highly recommend this product,it does what it says on the Tin.Yes it is a graft and will take a few hours,hence why I chose the Easter weekend to finally get it sorted but the finished product will give a fresh look to your Vehicle..

Glossy. Good colour and coverage.
A used the graphite colour, which is fairly glossy and looks nice. The paint needs a very good stir prior to application. It is quite difficult to apply being very thick - rather like applying Hammerite paints, you cannot over brush - too many brush strokes spoil the finish. So, you have to be good at painting to get a good finish. I removed my calipers and hung them up to paint. The temperature was around 16C. The paint did sag a little in places. I think it needs to be warmer so that the paint dries faster to reduce runs and sagging. The instructions do say to paint at 17C - 21C, so my fault and maybe I was too heavy on the second coat. Other than that, the finish is quite good. But, adherence seems less than I'd like. After three days hanging in my shed, I was able the chip the paint off with my finger nail. Perhaps it needs some heat to cure it properly and will be cured after use on the vehicle.

Great Caliper Paint
Great kit for painting your calipers. Included were a glove, wire brush, aerosol can (500ml) of brake cleaner, a paintbrush and a tin (250ml) of caliper paint.Like any painting job, prep is the key to a good end result, hence the wire brush and brake cleaner included.I followed the instructions regarding drying time between coats and go a great result with only 3 coats of paint. I still have approx 2/3rds of a tim of paint left (though used up all of the brake cleaner) so plenty left for a few more cars!!I originally bought the blue paint and got on great with it. To be honest I wasn't brave enough with the colour change and next went for yellow, as shown in the photo. As I got on well with and was impressed with the blue it was a no-brainer to buy the equivalent product from the same vendor.

What’s not to like?
I Love this kit. It does everything it’s expected to do. Easy to use. The paint is top notch, and you get everything you need to prepare your callipers, but not masking tape. But that’s no big issue.

Brilliant product & helped to sell my sons car!!
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👍

Very happy !
At first it seemed like a very thin paint but after the first coat it applyed really nice! The tin goes along way! I've done four coats on all of the brakes and I still have well over half a tin! I waited an hour per coat and it applied well colour is nice and bright everything I got in the kit worked as it should ! I did use a wire wheel and a drill to clean up the brakes as the wire brush isn't that good but still came in handy ! Would highly recommend

All in one box
This package contains everything you need, right down to gloves and a stirring stick. The tin of paint looks small but I’ve done two coats on all four of my Golf brakes now and there’s plenty left. The only recommendation I can give it to keep the paint and callipers warm, otherwise the paint can go quite gloopy. I put the paint pot in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes and it made a big difference. The calliper had a fan heater blowing on it whilst I was waiting.I really wouldn’t bother looking elsewhere.
