dupli-color caliper paint kit

this **** sucks. i bought the silver paint for my new C4 setup. they tell you brush it on but the stuff is like water. it wouldt cover worth a crap. so i ended up using some plasti-coat high heat engine spray can paint, which worked out much better. i dont know if any of you have had this problem it the dupli-color stuff. i just wanted to worn everyone that is thinking about useing it.

The only brake paint that seems to be worth the money is the G2 Brake Caliper paint system. It lasts forever and stays looking like new. Used that on one of my cars 4 years ago and it looks like it did when it was done. Its a two-part epoxy like paint rated to withstand heat up to 980 degrees. It gives a plasticy type ultra-high gloss shine.
G2 - High Temp Brake Caliper Paint System Set

You can get it on eBay for about $30 shipped.

Um this kit was great for me. I bought the red, did all 4 calipers with no hassle at all. I made sure the calipers were very clean of any dirt/grease/dust ect. and it worked out fine for me. Not watery at all...I can post pics of having this stuff on for over 7 months strong now and not chipping/fading/NOTHING.

I recommend this stuff...

Only complaint was the brush that was with the kit was junk, and brisles started coming off after awhile, but i could deal with that.

Re: dupli-color caliper paint kit

Same here. I just used it, did all 4 calipers 3 coats each.
Scrubbed them with clr and lime-away then did some sanding on them and brake cleaner to finish it up then masked everything off. I love it.
All this was done while they were on my car!!

No problem here either (red). Sorry if this offends you, but you did stir the paint right?

Re: dupli-color caliper paint kit

I too have used this kit and it's great! I used silver on my old Neon and had zero problems. I'm gonna get a red kit for the Trans Am when I get new brakes...but I'm definitely buying a better brush.

Re: dupli-color caliper paint kit

I think some of use may have gotten old kits. I had the same problem. I ended up using exhaust manifold spray paint. Works fine.

Re: dupli-color caliper paint kit

I had really good luck with my kit as well. I think I may still have some leftovers kicking around somewhere too. it does seem a bit watery, but gotta make sure you stir it up a bit before painting. Did one coat on my GTP and the it lasted almost 4 years
