I must admit this is a hell of a lot of masking up I also have done a guide on this and how to clean them rusty wheel hubs. There is no need to mask that much lol ... being thorough is a good thing though. Regards
Is 1 can of paint enough to do the 4 calipers comfortably? Would it be unwise to not use a primer before painting?
yeah ive done 4 calipers with one can. just use it sparingly. you dont need 6 coats for a good finish. ive never used primer.
I've never used primer either, just make sure your parts are spotless before you apply and buy a tin of caliper paint that says it does not need a primer
Caliper paint is made with lazy people in mind that will spray on not overly clean brakes. It will go on fine without primer.
Yeh righto, I guess I will go without primer then, just figured I can save $25 by not getting primer if it does'nt make any difference.
