on it in a lupo Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 White paint will make it lighter but it will be very hard to make the yellow you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobs23 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 really could do with using proper caliper paint as it iis a hi temp paint and with not burn and melt under heavy breaking when the calipers get hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafyou Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 i wouldn't bother mixing the paint, it will just fade over time anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffD Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 i was told, but i've never tried it personally, that you can use unmixed, ie no hardener in, 2 pack paint on calipers, so you'd be able to get the right shade. i think you'd need plenty time to let it dry though . test a small area first to see what the drying time is, like i said i've not done it myself so i dont know for sure - geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
