SOLD Foliatec high quality brake caliper paint kit (gloss red)

[Lucas_R]

Purchased 2x of these Foliatec brake caliper paint kits but have only used one of them. Have decided to use a blue colour on my other car so this gloss red kit is for sale.

- high quality German made product
- includes can of brake cleaner, gloss red paint and hardener which you mix in to the red paint.

Once dry, the paint is super glossy and looks great.

$65 incl postage

Is this stuff a lot better than the rattle can paint? In terms of longevity?

I've done a couple of sets with hi temp caliper paint but the gloss finish only seems to last a short time...

I have had similar experiences with brake caliper specific paint in a spray can - paint stayed very soft so it marked easily and the glossyness only lasted a few months before they started to dull...this was the main reason why i bought this kit as they are pretty well regarded as a DIY brake caliper painting solution.

I painted the brakes on my GTI with one of these Foliatec kits about 6 months before i sold it, and in my fussy eyes the brakes looked just as good when i sold the car as when i first painted them. You actually paint this on with a brush so you dont need to mask the car up to prevent overspray.

Sounds good. Even though it's a bit more expensive if it keeps the gloss look long-term it's definitely worth the extra.
