You can mix our brake caliper paint in batches, however it is certainly not recommended. Otherwise the formula may be skewed and the finish will be adversely affected. It's definitely not something you can eyeball, it needs to be done by weight, and you'll need a jeweler's scale that's accurate. So in order to achieve the high-gloss self-leveling finish that you have come to expect from the G2™ High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set you would need to split these amounts in half perfectly. However it doesn't work out that well in practice.Īs stated earlier, when you receive your G2™ High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set, the amounts are pre-measured. The logic being, if you mix half of the reactor with half of the brake caliper paint you can jack one side of the car up and do the calipers, allow them to cure, and then repeat the process on the other side with the other half of the reactor and brake caliper paint. working time with our brake caliper paint once the reactor is added to the paint, this question, like the one above usually arises from those who don't own and or don't want to invest in a good set of jack stands. This is how our brake caliper paint was meant to be used. In other words if you pour the entire jar of reactor into the caliper paint can and stir (As is recommended) you have the optimal amounts of both parts to achieve the high-gloss self-leveling finish that you have come to expect from our G2™ High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set. When you receive your brake caliper paint kit, the amounts are pre-measured. This question is generally asked immediately after the question above, and unfortunately the answer is yes and no. is done before mixing the reactor in with the paint. cleaning the calipers, applying masking tape, etc. It's much easier to simply invest in a good set of jack stands (Which will run you approximately $15.00 at any chain automotive parts store), and make sure all of your prep work ie. If you attempt this, rest assured when you come back the next day to paint the other side you will have a very bright, very hard hockey puck. Storing the pre-mixed brake caliper paint and reactor in an air tight container does not retard the hardening process. The logic being, if you jack one side of the car up and paint the calipers, you can store the remaining paint in an air tight container, and then come back tomorrow and repeat the process on the other side. working time with our brake caliper paint this question usually arises from those who don't own and or don't want to invest in a good set of jack stands. working time once the reactor is added to the paint. The G2™ High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set is an epoxy based paint, and as such it has a 4-6 hr. The surface should be ready for paint application at this point. Allow the surface to air dry again then spray it one more time with the brake cleaner. If necessary go back to the bucket of water and scrub pad to get whatever remaining brake dust you can. Alternate spraying the caliper or drum and then brushing it with a wire brush. Allow the surface to air dry then apply the brake cleaner to break up the tougher brake dust and rust. Detergent isn't necessary as you're really just trying to remove the loose particles at this point. Scrub the calipers or drum with a Scotch-Brite pad or scrub sponge and a bucket of water to clean as much brake dust, rust and dirt off as possible. Once this is done you can apply the paint as normal by following the steps below. Your aim here is not to remove the previous coating, it's just to rough it up a bit to be sure the new coating will properly adhere. The prep work for applying the G2™ High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set is basically the same for all applications, however if your calipers have already been painted once before you will need to hit the area to be painted with some fine to medium grit sandpaper or scotch brite in order to rough up the area and give it some extra tooth.
