Anybody got any idea what temperature and for how long I need to bake my brake calipers to cure the paint?
I sat the can in a bucket of warm water before spraying,so of course the label came off ! and Ive had no reply from the PJ1 website.
( Its PJ1 Satin black.)
Thanks.

Aha!
Mr. davido
Thank you for your inquiry. 16-SAT is able to cure on its own once the engine has been started and brought to 250 degrees Fahrenheit then cooled to room temperature.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

After painting my caliper w Duplicolor brake caliper paint, I let the paint cure for a few days (I think it was a few days), then I baked them in the oven at about 150o for about 20 minutes, then raised the temp to 225o for another 20 minutes or so. The paint is tough & has held up well, but brake fluid attacks it --- it's ruined around the bleeder nipple --- not sure if baking at a higher temp would have mattered. doh.

Not really Martin......I believe that brake fluid is one really effective paint stripper......it's what I am using to clean up some emblems that PO painted all black and it's working well.

Thanks. I didn't think the baking temp mattered in that regard, but ya never know sometimes. I use brake fluid to strip emblems as well.
