251591 Caliper Spray Paint, 12 oz, Red

I read the reviews before purchasing and I saw some complain of a “brownish-red” color. As you can see from the attached photo after spraying my calipers are an awesome high quality bright red color just like I wanted so I’m not sure if they got a bad batch of paint or didn’t clean their calipers of dust & dirt before coating. I followed the hints of using aluminum foil to cover the disc and other parts I didn’t want red along with tape to cover the small areas. I took my time and did a wheel at a time using my floor jack. I put 3 coats about 10-15 minutes apart in 60 degree weather and I had no issues at all. The paint covered well with minimal runoff. Total time was about 4 hours to do all 4 calipers. I will update if it have any problems or longevity issues. Overall I absolutely love the new look!!

Real person here - used it, loved the look of it. A year later and it’s still holding up well even after some Indiana winter/pothole/abuse/carwashes. One can was plenty for my calipers. Dressed up my Civic EX nicely.

See photos. Take the time to prep. I used brake parts cleaner and painters tape. Applied 3 coats. 10 minutes between each coat. Allow a couple of hours to dry before removing tape. Very happy with the results. One can covered all 4 calipers.

This is a first impression - I don't know how it will hold up over time. That being said, I was painting rear existing OEM calipers to match a brand new set of red powder coated front calipers. The rustoleum red is decidedly darker in person, when dry, compared to the powder coated calipers. Think more light burgundy red compared to fire engine red. It goes on brighter, but dries darker (I touched up a few chips on the powder coated ones and you can see the difference). All that being said, the basically look the same once the wheels are on - and that was my goal.

I decided to give my car a little bit of a refresh and used this for the calipers. Honestly, I’m really happy with how it turned out. The red is super bright and has a nice glossy finish that makes the wheels look way better. ​The application was pretty straightforward. The spray comes out even and doesn't drip too much as long as you take your time with light coats. It dried faster than I expected, too. It’s been a few months and the paint is holding up great against the heat and road grime. If you're looking for an easy weekend project to make your car look a bit more sporty, this is definitely the way to go.

I’m very satisfied with this spray paint. The application was smooth and even, and it provided great coverage with just a few passes.

This stuff is great. I sprayed my calibers with it last year. I live in Minnesota, where it gets really snowing and cold and they still look great. Definitely worth the buy.

Best Caliper paint out there,

Strong stuff! I used them on aluminum brembo caliper covers and they held very nicely, paint was even across the calipers which is awesome. Only thing I didn't like it's dark red not bright red like brembos red.

Very good product, the durability of the product and finishing of the surface depends on how you prepare the surface before using the spray paint. Rub the surface twice or thrice smoothly with sand paper and clean everything else then use the spray, that will enhance the durability and will really show the quality of the product. Do not use on rough surface without any pre-treatment meaning without making the surface smooth firt and thoroughly cleaned. Leave the surface untouched for about 3-4days for the paint to dry and for long lasting quality of the paint and also 1 bottle of this spray paint is more than enough for 2 brake callipers and 2 wheel drums of the car. It’s a must buy product instead of spending ₹3k-₹4k in a paint workshop, this product could really save you money.

Bright and Shiny Red. I love it

Perfect product for your car brake calipers. Prevents rust, keeps it looking premium and like new always. Works perfectly well at higher temperatures also. I've sprayed it on my Jeep compass brake caliper with ease and it's worked great so far. Great product.

good product as prescribe
