Just joined the forum so felt the need to do my first post. Sprayed my calipers blue at the weekend ![Smile :smile: :smile:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Looks goodwell done, only issue i see is thats a 1K finish.....god knows what temp thats rated to, not alot i imagine. 2K lacquers, generally ~100c, might yellow after that and eventually fail.
I did a 2K finish on my rear calipers, with decals, but they only get touch hot (~60c maybe), they are still fine over a year on, even after a good owning, but i did go through a serious prep process lol (sand blast, etch primer, 2k primer, 2k black, 2k lacquer).
The fronts would be a different matter, chances are that will start smoking if you go to a track or a hardcore drive.
If i was DIYing, id use a VHT paint and not lacquered.....as i dont know of a lacquer that can stand high brake temps, atleast generally available.
Cheers,
Simon @ SS
