Good job mate. What is the grey colour you put on first? Will I need it if I am sticking with the same colour?

Hey Lucas I had EXACTLY the same problem. Good prep- cleaned well, sanded, primer etc. Painted mine yellow which looked great but then I put the clear coat on and it stayed take for days (I had even warmed with heat gun and blow heaters as I did the yellow and clear coat). Now I have black and yellow calipers!! Sooooooo annoying!!! And with 3 little kids trying to find the
time to fix is almost impossible!

Brake Caliper Paint MK6 Golf R

Did mine yesterday with the Foliatec paint. I did mine while I had new discs and pads fitted so I took them off. My only advice is let them dry properly as I have finger marks and dirt marks where I touched them to put them back on. No Prima used and 3 coats, 2 would of been ok. Properly be best to do them while on and let them dry through the day and over night. I put mine back on and they were a little tacky to touch and I drove home (10 mins) with light breaking. Looks as though there is no dust on them. The next time I drive they will have been sat for 2 nights.






Probably give it a few days, wash them and do one more coat to cover the marks.
Overall good product but as always I rushed the job. I'll report back if dust is sticking to them.
