Dupli-Color Brake Caliper Paint Kit - Red Single-Caliper Pint, High-Temp Ceramic-Resin, Glossy Chip-Resistant Finish

If you want to revitalize the look of your wheels without a full teardown, this single-kit package provides the paint, cleaner, brush, tape and instructions needed to coat one caliper with a durable, automotive-grade ceramic-resin finish. Designed for hobbyists, detailers and DIY mechanics, the formula resists brake dust, road chemicals and light chipping while offering quick dry times so projects move faster.

How quickly will the caliper paint dry and be ready for handling?

The BCP400 kit uses an EZ Touch Conical nozzle formula that dries to the touch in about 30 minutes and can be handled after roughly one hour, depending on temperature and ventilation. Full cure times vary with environmental conditions, so allow additional time before exposing to heavy brake heat or road contaminants.

• Touch-dry: ~30 minutes under normal shop conditions
• Handleable: ~1 hour for light handling
• Cure influenced by temperature, humidity, and ventilation

Will this paint stand up to brake heat and chemicals?

The paint is formulated with ceramic resins and high-temp components to resist temperatures up to 500°F, helping maintain gloss and adhesion near the rotor area. It’s also engineered to resist brake dust and common automotive chemicals, which keeps finish appearance longer between cleanings.

• Heat tolerance: rated up to 500°F
• Resistant to brake dust and light chemical exposure
• High-gloss finish helps repel contaminants for easier cleaning

What comes in the single caliper kit and what tools are included?

The BCP400 single-kit is packaged to let you complete one caliper without sourcing additional supplies. Alongside a pint of caliper paint, you'll find a dedicated aerosol cleaner, stir stick, paintbrush, masking tape and a step-by-step instruction booklet for prep and application.

• Caliper Paint Pint (red)
• Caliper Aerosol Cleaner for proper surface prep
• Brush, stir stick, masking tape and instruction booklet included

Do I need to remove the caliper from the vehicle to use this kit?

The kit is suitable for use whether you remove the caliper or work with it installed; the brush-on paint option is particularly useful when you choose not to disassemble. If you prefer a sprayed application for a smoother finish, remove the caliper or use a spray-compatible setup following safety and masking recommendations in the booklet.

• Brush-on application ready for on-vehicle work
• Removal recommended for best sprayed finish and full coverage
• Follow masking and curing instructions to protect surrounding parts
