VHT SP731 Real Red Brake Caliper Paint Can - 11 oz.

Paint dries very quick and a good quality

At under ten bucks on average, the VHT SP731 Real Red Brake Caliper paint can-11 oz. is well worth every penny. It seems to have more paint than most normal paint cans. This single paint can, can be used to spray 4 big truck-sized calipers. Specifically designed for detailing in breaks, drums, calipers and rotor customization. Designed to withstand immense heating. It can endure over 900 degrees when cured properly. Caliper covers are good customizations but they are not pocket friendly and they may not fit the car’s rims properly. With this paint though, an affordable customized makeover is possible. Even with bad roads and harsh weather conditions, this paint will not peel, rust or even crack. Using the real red brake caliper is as easy as applying it and waiting for it dry. Also, the paint doesn’t drip. Of course before applying, one ought to clean the calipers very well before applying the paint. Dirt, sand, dust, grease, oil, grime, and other junk can obviously cause the paint to not stick. Brakes take a ton of abuse being under the car, so you may consider a thourough degreaser. Other than that, there are no significant caveats attached to it. The effective performance of this paint of course applies to correct curing. The instructions for curing have been provided by the manufacturer on the package box. It is though worth noting that curing happens during the normal braking operation temperatures (around 200 degrees Fahrenheit) or if the braking operation is not possible during the period of curing, then pre-heating the parts is also viable. To get to the 200 degrees Fahrenheit, one is required to drive the car at a pretty high speed after painting and then braking hard. This curing aids in chemical resistance against fluids like fuel and brake fluids. If you don’t cure the paint then bad things will happen. One of the bad things that will happen is that the paint will melt leaving you with a messy surface. To achieve a glossy red color, you can use the red brake caliper paint with a primer and a clear coat. VHT also stocks primers and clear coats. The caliper paint can also be used on motorcycle wheels. The wheels will look really good. The paint has a strong odor and it may irritate your nose and throat. Everything should work fine and as expected if all the instructions are followed. You will also have to tape the caliper’s surroundings. But all in all, the search for the perfect brake caliper paint should start and end with this paint as it truly does what it says it will do. This paint is also evidently superior to other caliper paints like Rustoleum and Duplicolor.

Works well

Perfect for what I wanted. Love this colour of red too. Easy to use and plenty in it for all 4 brake calipers.

VHT is a great product 👌 lays down good, sprays clean and holds its bond really well as long as you properly prep the surface prior to spraying haven't had any issues in any category with this brand
