About this deal
This is an important step — the more time you spend preparing the calipers, the better and neater the finish will be. Firstly, take off the front retainer clip and then cover the bleeder valve using masking tape to protect it. Ensure the valve is completely covered. Overlapping the layers of masking tape may help to prevent paint from leaking into the joins. Then, cover the brake hose fittings with tape too. You can paint your brake calipers whatever colour you like; however, you must be careful not to get any paint on the brake discs. Doing so may impact their ability to bring your car to a stop, which could be dangerous. For instance, Rust-Oleum states that their caliper paint is touch dry in two to four hours but that it may not be fully dry for 24 hours. They recommend waiting at least five to nine hours before reattaching the wheels. However, Foliatec states that you can reattach the wheels after just two hours. product/helpAdviseTab.hbs -->
