Foliatec 2165 Brake Calliper Paint Set, Gold

Bought this product after trying a different brand that re-acted badly on finish. I was a bit dubious after reading some reviews that stated how hard it was to use. However, trying it for myself; I was over the moon with the colour and finish. Its been done a while now and quite a few miles travelled, so I can honestly say.. the longevity is excellent and they still look good.Being a two step mix and reading reviews about the mix setting before they got round all 4 calipers.. I opted to jack the car putting it on stands to access all calipers in one. I thoroughly cleaned off the old paint and cleaned the calipers with the cleaner in the kit. Then began painting each caliper. The base white was first. It seemed chalky and difficult to put on without leaving brush marks (however it didn't matter in the end..as long as you got good coverage). Once that was dry I put on a coat of the mixed neon orange.. First coat looking a little opaque... left it the required drying time and did a second coat.I managed to get around all four calipers in plenty of time.. with plenty enough paint.The photo shows the colour. Vibrant. Lovely coverage and finish. One happy bunny 🙌Would absolutely recommend.

All good just brush is crap. Bristles are loose and stick to paint job

Excellent kit for painting brakes. Contains everything you need though the brush could be a little bigger.I've read elsewhere that some brake paints can be a little thin as they are solvent based. This kit on the other hand is a two part kit with a hardener meaning the pain will begin to thicken and shortly after mixing the two parts. It can still drip a bit but not as much as others. It also means you have a limited time to paint the brakes. The box states two hours but in reality it was going on three before the pain was too thick to use. I'd suggest getting a friend to help if possible to get the most out of the kit.Tins initially seemed quite small but there was enough to do three full coats on an average sized set of brakes calipers and carriers.If painting on the car then you'll have more than enough for three coats if you can paint quick.Other kits might be cheaper but given you get everything you need to do the job it probably works out about the same overall.Highly recommend this product.

Easy to use, covers well, only done two coats, just the colour I wanted 👌

I have used this paint before and I have to recommend it. The finish is great and lasts long. It's coming up on 2 years since I used the paint first time and Its only now my stupid old fashioned drum brakes need a fresh coat. The calipers on the front of the car still look as good as what they did when I first painted them.

Great product, just follow the instructions and you can not go wrong. Paint does dry as stated and gives a nice finish. However, I set the car on 4 jack stands and removed my calipers, break pads, clips and guides to do a better job. Hung the calipers using cable ties from the suspension arms, thourghly cleaned all parts to be painted. First coat had dried by the time I had painted everything (took about 30 minutes). Second coat took 20 minutes to complete and I waited 2 hours to let that dry before painting the third and final coat. I did measure out half the hardener and half the paint (25mls and 62.5mls respectively) before hand. I had marked a jam jar to the correct level and mixed that first. Third coat, I mixed the remaining hardener and paint in the tin. Cleaned off the brush between coats with turps and a cloth as it gets quite sticky in the brush. Allowed the paint to harden over 24 hours, reassembled brakes using a torque wrench to the manufactures settings, mounted the wheels and went for a drive applying brakes at regular intervals to bake on the paint. My breaks look great and very happy with the product. Quite important to follow the suggested temperature guide before starting otherwise the paint will not dry properly.

The base coat was OK, although it took a few coats to get a decent coverage. The paint is a different story you are rushed to get the painting done before it not workable. The coverage is dreadful I managed two coats before the paint started going stringy. It looks more pink than red especially as it does not cover the primer well at all

After a speedy delivery I opened the kit to find:- tin of paint (enough to do 1000 calipers)- hardener which was easy to mix with the paint (just pour the hardener into the paint tin)- brake cleaner (appears to be ordinary brake cleaner and works well)- wooden stick for mixing- paint brush (high quality, didn’t deteriorate at all)- high quality pair of glovesI hadn’t painted anything since I was a kid but still managed to get great results with this. It wasn’t runny and the coats dried quickly. Didn’t bother removing calipers either as it’s nearly impossible to mess this up.Will buy again in future!

utilizzata per un cliente sulla smart fortwo ha garantito un risultato eccellente con la piena soddisfazione del cliente. facile da applicare. noi abbiamo smontato le pinze e lavorato al banco in modo da spazzolare tutto e sgrassare bene. è possibile lavorare anche con le pinze montate stando un po attenti. la vernice miscelata è comunque liquida e se si abbonda cola, meglio stenderne poco alla volta e fare 2 passate. non usate bicchieri in plastica per mescolare perchè si sciolgono. la quantità nella confezione è abbondante per 4 pinze. consiglio di usarne poco alla volta.

Ce n’est pas la première fois que je commande cette peinture et je n’ai jamais été déçu! Livré avec tous les matériaux nécessaire, la peinture fonctionne très bien et dure dans le temps! Ça rajoute une petite touche vraiment sympa à la voiture!

I like how easy os to install

Cette peinture est géniale.Le kit est bien fait et complet.Mes étriers un peu vieillots sont redevenus aspect lisse grace à l'apprêt blanc.Le plus gros bémol qui m'a fait perdre un temps fou à été d'utiliser les pinceaux fournis qui sont bien trop petits et ont des poils trop reche: ils creusent la peinture au lieu de l'étaler et multiplient les couches. Il faut donc utiliser un pinceau legerement plus grand et plus doux.Attention: le rendu orange sur l'annonce n'est pas du tout le même qu'en vrai: mes étriers sont orange fluo (oui fluo et non jaune-orange comme sur la photo), mais ca rend bienLa peinture à bien durci et tient bien.

Después de estar poco mas de una semana pintadas están como cuando las pinte, la pintura es buena y resistente aunque tarda en secar, no se si será por la aplicación ya que lo hice yo mismo, pero tardo en secar y eso que solo le di una mano de pintura, al ir a dar la segunda a los 20 min de dar la primera note que la pintura estaba húmeda, no estaba seca y lo dejé así, para haberlo pintado sin ningún conocimiento no se han quedado nada mal, espero que aguante bastante tiempo
