What are the hazards of painting car calipers?
1 Answers
Painting car calipers poses no hazards. Painting car calipers can enhance the visual impact of the vehicle, making it appear more youthful and sporty. However, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the caliper paint. Most paints used are high-temperature coatings, which have excellent heat resistance but relatively poor adhesion. They may gradually peel off when exposed to heavy rain or during car washing. The paint used for calipers is not specifically designed for brake discs. During emergency braking, the temperature of the brake disc can be much higher than that of the caliper, which may result in a burnt and pungent paint smell. If you plan to paint your calipers, it is recommended to have the color change done at a reputable auto repair shop.
