The company were very thorough with regard to the specification of the finish standard and its colour. The quality they supplied me was spectacular and I cannot wait to install them on the car. The fronts will be getting the same treatment in the future. The turnaround was very quick,

This is the second set of calipers I've had painted by BCS and overall I'm happy. I'm probably more critical than most due to my line of work, but I'm also comparing my second set to the first I had Painted by BCS. The first set were pretty much perfect, Colour and Paint finish were spot on overall. There has been no deterioration of the finish at all to date. The second set Pictured are also well finished, The fronts are spot on but the rears are not finished to the same standard this time unfortunately. The plates have some marks where the protective packaging was stuck to them and the rear carriers look like there may have been some reaction, I did not use the BCS cast smoothing but did carry this out myself as I have previously. BCS have kindly offered to rectify the plates and rear carriers, and have offered an open timescale which I do appreciate, however I only have one car and unfortunately won't have the luxury of taking it off the road again for some time, not to mention the work and shipping costs involved. I would use BCS again as I've seen first hand the finish that can be achieved maybe just with a request for some extra quality control.

Instructions


You should test the colour of your paint before applying to your whole calipers as the Brake Caliper Specialists will accept no responsibility for an incorrect colour once your calipers are painted.

  • Safely place your car on suitable axle stands on a flat, sturdy base and remove your wheels.
  • Clean your calipers as much as possible with the provided sanding disc. Then use the degreaser to remove any contaminants on the calipers and allow to dry fully.
  • Pour 100ml of the supplied paint into the mixing cup and add 50ml of the supplied hardener and place the caps back onto the bottles. Thoroughly mix the paint and hardener together using a clean mixing implement, leave to stand for two minutes and mix again.
  • Apply the first coat thinly to the calipers. This will give a good, flat base colour to apply your second coat to. It will also trap any remaining rust and dust so as not to degrade your paint finish.
  • Allow 45 minutes for the paint to dry before applying the second coat. If you do not do this, you may end up with brush marks on your calipers.


More than two coats is not recommended.
Leave to dry for at least 2 hours before fitting your wheels and at least 6 hours before driving your vehicle.
If you have removed the calipers to paint, leave for at least 8 hours before handling them. Curing can be sped up using heat lamps.
