Dupli-Color Caliper Spray Paint Gloss Silver 11 oz, Heat-Resistant Ceramic-Resin Finish

Dupli-Color Caliper Aerosol Paint in Gloss Silver is a high-temperature spray coating designed to restore and protect brake calipers with a durable, glossy finish that withstands up to 500°F.

Whether you’re refreshing the look of your vehicle or adding a protective layer to brake hardware, this 11 oz aerosol delivers a ceramic-resin formula that resists chipping, brake dust, and common automotive chemicals. The product is formulated for use on calipers that have been removed from the vehicle and pairs with Dupli-Color’s caliper kit when on-vehicle application is required. Its EZ Touch conical nozzle helps ensure even coverage and faster application.

How long does the Dupli-Color Caliper Spray take to dry and cure?

The aerosol dries quickly to the touch, allowing light handling within about an hour, and offers a durable finish suitable for exposure to high temperatures. Full chemical and mechanical resistance improves as the coating cures over time.

• Touch-dry in approximately 30 minutes under typical conditions
• Handleable in about 1 hour; full durability increases after longer cure
• Resists heat up to 500°F thanks to ceramic-resin formulation

Will this paint resist brake dust, chips, and automotive fluids?

Yes—the gloss silver formula is engineered to withstand the contaminants commonly found around brakes. Its hardened finish reduces surface damage and helps maintain a clean look under regular driving conditions.

• Formulated to resist chipping from road debris and mechanical contact
• Repels and holds up against brake dust accumulation better than untreated metal
• Offers chemical resistance to typical automotive fluids encountered near calipers

Can I use this aerosol on calipers without removing the wheel or caliper?

The aerosol is intended primarily for calipers that have been removed from the vehicle to allow thorough cleaning and masking. For on-vehicle applications, Dupli-Color offers a brush-on kit designed to work within tighter access constraints and reduce overspray risk.

• Aerosol best used when caliper is removed for full prep and even coverage
• Brush-on kit available from Dupli-Color for in-place caliper painting
• Use proper masking and ventilation if attempting on-vehicle spray application

What tools and steps improve the finish when painting brake calipers?

Preparation and the right accessories have a big impact on adhesion and appearance. Clean, degrease, and scuff the caliper surface before spraying, and follow with light, even coats to build a smooth, glossy layer.

• Use Dupli-Color caliper aerosol cleaner or equivalent degreaser before painting
• Lightly sand or scuff to promote adhesion; wipe off dust before spraying
• Apply several thin coats with the EZ Touch conical nozzle for uniform coverage

Who is this product for: This 11 oz Dupli-Color Gloss Silver caliper aerosol is aimed at automotive enthusiasts, DIY mechanics, and professional detailers who want a high-temperature, attractive finish on brake calipers. It's suitable for cars, trucks, SUVs, and other vehicles where calipers can be removed for prep; choose the brush-on kit if you need to paint calipers without removal.
