User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use this for ovens
Answer:	on outside sure / very low quality paint - I wouldn't buy it again
Question:	painting headers and exhaust can this paint hold up? And what prepping will I need
Answer:	I doubt very much this would hold up on headers - other post-cat exhaust components? Maybe - certainly tips.
Question:	Do I have to wet-sand the base coat or wet sand after this is applied
Answer:	No. Do them at the same time. I had great results. Do light coats a cpl minutes apart for base. Then go straight in and do the purple. The purple is hard to get perfect so take your time. Mine turned out great
Question:	how many square feet does a can cover
Answer:	One can did 2 coats of a BBQ grill cover roughly 9sf with plenty left over

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this suitable for going directly onto fibreglass (heat shield
Answer:	On my wife's 2017 Challenger GT AWD. It is a little bit lighter, than the yellow jacket yellow. Still looks really good, the wife likes it.
Question:	Bottom of my metal fire pit is rusty. Can I prepare the metal and spray it with this paint? Food is not cooked on the fire pit
Answer:	I used the BCP404 blue kit on the black Dodge RAM 1500 I use to have and it turned out great. I had the truck for over a year after I applied the paint and I saw no chipping / wear on the paint so it holds up well and it is worth it. Hints: (1) Get a lot of good brake cleaner, clean the calipers well and dry them completely before starting. (2) Open the kit and throw away the paint brush that comes with it. It's a hard bristled application brush, not a paint brush. Invest a few dollars in 2 or 3 soft bristled paint brushes for models / arts & crafts and use them. This will take the streaks out of the paint and keep it smooth. (3) If possible, let the paint dry but then also wait a day before you drive the vehicle to let it cure well before you put heat to the calipers. I think you'll love the results.
Question:	Is this gasoline restistant? I want touse it on a carburator
Answer:	Ignore Carlos, he's a jerk. We all know what you're asking... I'd imagine with the right prep and such, this paint would bond to plastic.
Question:	Do I need to prime the headers first
Answer:	Not for a rookie painter's first project. Like any superior paint project, the secret is Prep, Prep, and Prep. I cleaned with Simple Green @ 50% solution first; next, roughed up with aluminum oxide sandpaper and wire brush; then brake cleaner (2 cans for 4 calipers) for final cleaning prep. Set up a good light so that you can see what you are doing inside the fender well. I use a 500 watt halogen work light.My front calipers on both cars are large 4 piston, fixed mount, with a lot of surface area. Plan on at least two coats, there is plenty of paint in the can for 8 calipers X 2 coats, with some left over to touch up chips later. Plan your brush stroke approach ahead, work from bottom to top (gravity may cause runs). Keep the wet edge of paint moving, as the paint dries very quickly; that's why you have to plan your stroke strategy, to minimize the width of the wet edge. Don't go back to cover a thin or missed spot for at least 20-30 minutes, it will stick and pull if you do. The directions on the package are ambiguously worded.I concur with other reviewers, get a decent brush, I used both 1/2 inch and 1 inch brushes. The packaging does not specify any thinner/solvent at all. I successfully used common mineral spirits paint thinner, both to thin the paint a little (use sparingly) if the humidity is low, and to clean brushes. Use a separate cup/bowl to apply from (don't use a Styrofoam coffee cup, the paint dissolves it). Pour from the paint can to your working cup/bowl (stir each time), so that you don't contaminate the unused paint and close the lid on the source can so that the source paint's thinner doesn't evaporate. Each caliper may take you 45 minutes to apply one coat. Make yourself comfortable with a stool or kneeling pad, this becomes a marathon job to do right. Putting the car on a lift makes the job easier than using jack stands. Don't forget to use newspaper or cardboard to protect the garage floor or driveway from paint drips... the stuff is hard to get off once it sets up.I had to move the cars after the 2nd coat had dried an hour. I was very careful mounting the wheels, as the freshly painted calipers would be very tender. I traveled at under 30 mph, with minimal brake use for 2 miles to my garage for the 24 hour drying time. That avoided heat and brake dust; it had no affect on the final quality. I am pleased with my results, close to concours quality.On previous cars, I used spray paint with good results, but color not as bright and glossy. This time I decided to save masking time (a lot of time to do a thorough and careful masking job) by using this brush on product. What I saved in masking time, I lost in painting time. Once masked, spray paint goes on quickly with good coverage. Applying with a brush and minimal masking requires a steady hand in some areas. Brushing the paint on is a tedious process. Each caliper may take you 45 minutes to apply one coat. My calipers are large, 4 piston, fixed mount. Make yourself comfortable with a stool or kneeling pad, this becomes a marathon job to do right. Putting the car on a lift makes the job easier than using jack stands. Good lighting is essential while working in the fender well. I used a 500 watt halogen work light.Remain conscious of paint setup time and drying time. You have to wait at least 20-30 minutes to start the second coat, but under 1 hour to start the second coat -- or if over 1 hour, then wait 5 days for curing before starting the second coat. Start the second coat with the same brushing pattern as you used for the first coat. So that means you can only have two calipers in the painting process of multiple coats in a session. Once those two are complete and drying, take a break, then start on next two calipers.

Question:	Is this kit self leveling like the G2 product
Answer:	Mine have been painted for 2 years as of July 2015, and have no chips or defects, etc. Just be sure to clean the crap out of them before you paint them and do multiple coats if possible.
