Although some owners believe that caliper covers interfere with cars’ natural abilities, in the real sense, they present some great benefits. Once you’ve removed the calipers from the wheel assembly, it’s a great idea to take off the brake pads and get ready to prepare the surface. To do this, you can use a stiff wire brush to clean the grime and rust off of the caliper surface. Once this is done, utilize mineral spirits to clean off the surface; these spirits will act as a solvent. Finally, after scrubbing, use a spray brake cleaner on the calipers to clean away any loose debris or grease. Final Thoughts There are a couple of variations of heat-resistant paints that can be used – some simply protect from high temperatures while others work as fire retarders and expand when the heat is applied so that they provide an insulating barrier. In general, high-temperature paint works best in the brake system of most cars. Durability The Brembo paint cycle is a long and complex process, which Brembo has perfected over the years. It includes, among other steps, applying an epoxy primer, polyurethane paint and transparent acrylic paint.With SP731, the color comes out just as you would like, and the light-medium coats settle in nicely. One of the features that may appeal to those looking to mod the look of their vehicle is the fact that these VHT shades are glossy right out of the can, which seems very attractive.
