Dupli-Color BCP401 Yellow Brake Caliper Kit

I ordered the blue color caliper paint since it was a very close match to the color of my car. The set-up and prep were easy; take your wheel off, spray your calipers with the included caliper cleaner then clean off. If your calipers are in decent shape the prep work is not hard at all. Then you paint your calipers. I used the included brush, knowing that I had a good 1" backup brush just in case the one included was as bad as other reviewers have said. Turns out the brush was fine, it shed a few bristles here and there but I just plucked them right off the calipers and painted over the area while it was still wet. Each wheel took me about 10 minutes/coat. I did three coats and the results came out terrific! The blue color pops, looks smooth, and has held up as good as the day I painted them. The instructions say to disconnect the brake lines and tape off the rotors but I just left everything on and taped around the margins; a fairly steady hand is all you need.The end result was awesome (I posted a picture above) and I still have like 80% of the paint left over. I highly recommend this Dupli-color caliper paint as it was the best $20 upgrade I have been fortunate enough to give my Shelby.

easy to paint the calipers with this kit. I did it when I was changing my pads so the wheels were coming off anyway making this easier. I put some pictures up of what my brakes look like now so you can see how it looks. It's very bright blue but not neon just right.

This is a nice little kit to paint your calipers while still on the car. It comes with a stir stick, pint of paint, spray can of degreaser, masking tape, and a brush to paint with. The process was painless to paint the calipers. I gave 4 calipers 3 coats of paint and barely used an inch from the can. I did have blue so maybe it covers better than some colors, but 1 coat was almost good enough. The result is all in the prep. You spend time cleaning and masking and the paint job goes very quick. I just painted the front and sides, bottom and tops but left the back. It dries very quickly for recoat in 5 minutes. I had the car on jack stands on one side front and rear so I could cover both at once. Very little brush marks and the last coat I left to dry till I finished the other caliper 2 coats. This was about 1/2 hour. If you wait past an hour they recommend you let it dry for 5 hours before recoating to avoid bubbling. It is very glossy when done. If you order blue, pay close attention to the color as I was duped into thinking the color actually was represented on the package. It is very different and much darker, almost navy blue.I could have stopped there, but after having 2 calipers cleaned and prepped, masked off I thought I would carry on by chance it would look ok. For this unintentional deception I deducted a star, but am very impressed with the product otherwise. I will probably buy another kit to repaint them black as I am very unhappy with the color for my purposes.

I am very happy with this item. You need to do multiple coats but that just makes the finish flow out very smoothly. It dries very quickly to the touch so that you can go from side to side to apply subsequent coats, each flowing into the previous coat. The brush that so many complained about must have been upgraded as I had no problem. The kit is very complete for everything needed to do the job. I have done 4 calipers with about 4 coats on each and still have plenty of paint left over. Granted they are fairly small calipers. I would recommend.

Please notice the very small text that says this item cannot be returned because it is considered hazardous. The color was not as described... cannot return. Too bad I am not happy. the blue color is much lighter than in the photo. DO NOT BUY

The paint quality is great provides an awesome enamel style finish, the brake cleaner worked amazingly on calipers. I found the paint stocked better after a little sanding on calipers. The given brush in the kit I found to be useless, it left an uneven finish and was a pain to coat the entire caliper with, if you have smaller calipers it might be fine. Overall great product would give 4 maybe even 5 stars if I didn't have to buy a new paint brush and ultimately use a spray gun to get the best out of the paint.

New tires and new wheels! My project was to repaint all 4 calipers to go along with the new set up. I painstakingly disassembled them and stripped the old red paint. I painted the parts using Dupli-Color Aerosol Yellow over a number of days in thin even coats. I reassembled the parts using new seals and upgraded stainless hardware. They looked very good.From experience with other projects I knew that I would need to do some touch up after reassembly and installation. Luckily I planned ahead by also purchasing the Dupli-Color Yellow Brake Kit. Brake parts cleaner is always good to have but the real reason was to use the can of brush on paint for touch-up. I did the touch-up on the vehicle and what a surprise .... the color was so far off that I plan on re-stripping them at additional time and expense.One would think that with a name like "Dupli-Color" that they could have, should have, gotten the color right. It wasn't just a shade off but instead a completely different hue, almost an orange. Dupli-Color only sells one color choice for Yellow Caliper paint. It's called "Yellow" The cap on the spray was nearly the same color as the paint itself. The color sample on the kit box was the same as the paint from aerosol.I've always used other manufactures products on my vehicles but thought I'd give Dupli-Color a try. Would I use this product again? I would if no one would ever see my work or if I no longer cared. (I normally don't review products, that's how bad this was)

Exactly what I wanted

I thought I ordered the full aerosol kit, instead I got a little can of paint and a brush. Be careful when you order. The brush kept dropping fibres in the paint, the masking tape was pure junk. Fell apart like it was 100 years old
