to those who have painted their brake calipers, how long did you guys wait before putting the wheels back on and driving the car? i know the caliper kit said one day before driving, did you all wait that long? thanx..
Do you park it in a garage? If you do, do it in the late afternoon when it is hot out, park it in the garage and let it cook overnight.
my dyslexia just kicked in, heheh, just wanna clarify, paint it in the late afternoon coz the heat will help bake it in and just leave the wheels out overnight? thanx suba, can't wait to c ur ride with the new springs on them
If you have a garage it should stay warm overnight (if the insulation is good). My garage when I open it at 7am is as warm as the afternoon heat. If you can leave it in that overnight it will help it get done more quickly. If you park it outside at night after you do it, it wont be dry in the morning. You arent going to have probems with it coming off or something, but if the paint is still soft, it will gather a lot of dirt and brake dust if you drive with it like that.
2 Hours it says but once their were dry, I put it on. It's fine but make sure your wheel doesn't touch the brake caliper. Actually when I drove it, I waited about 6 hours though drove slowly 30/40 so I wouldn't brake hard.
