A great way to make your MINI Cooper stand out is to paint the calipers. The G2 brake caliper paint is available in the following high gloss colors: Red, Yellow, Silver, Black and Blue. Two-part paint system does not require caliper removal but is recommended for a professional finish.
The Paint System Set provides sufficient materials to paint 4 brake calipers, or 2 brake calipers and 2 brake drums. However, vehicles with large brake calipers on the front axle and large brake drums on the rear axle may require two complete PaintSystem Sets to assure complete coverage. Of course, the MINI only needs one set to do all 4 corners.
Paint System Sets must be used between 56-70°F ambient temperatures and has a shelf life of six months . Higher temperatures will cause paint to harden faster than normal. Once the paint and reactor are mixed, there are only 1-2 hours working time. After that, paint left in the can will harden and will not be useable. Make sure that you are ready to paint once you've mixed the paint. It is ideal to do 2 calipers at a time and mix only half of the paint mix unless you can get all four wheels off the car safely to paint all of them at once. Do not paint the mating surfaces where the road wheels attach to the brake drums. The wheel’s mounting hub diameter should be measured and masked off on the brake drum prior to painting.
The paint requires 2 hours curing time before reinstalling wheels. Do not use the vehicle for 24 hours to allow the paint to fully harden. Plan application accordingly.
