The neon green finish pops hard against dark alloys and adds a custom, motorsport-inspired edge to any setup. It’s not just about looks—the paint is chemical, corrosion, and oil resistant, with a permanent seal that holds up under heat and grime1 . Application is straightforward: clean, mix, brush, and cure. The included cleaner preps the surface, and the brush gives you precise control—no overspray, no masking faff. Once cured, the finish is tough, matte, and easy to clean, making it ideal for daily drivers and show builds alike. ✅ Big Wins Neon green pop—bold, custom look that stands out Heat-resistant lacquer—built for brake caliper temps Chemical & oil resistant—holds up under real-world grime Complete kit—no extras needed to get started Brush-on application—clean, controlled, no spray mess Enough for 4 calipers—full car coverage Amazon rating: 4.5 stars from 14,000+ reviews1 ⚠️ Minor Trade-Offs Brush-on only—not sprayable Requires full cure time—don’t rush the drying Matte finish only—not glossy or metallic Strong chemical smell during application—use in ventilated space Not for plastic or rubber parts—metal surfaces only 🧍‍♂️ Personal Verdict Used this on a black alloy setup—neon pop, clean edges, and cockpit-level control. For around £31, it’s a proper detailing kit that adds bold style and lasting protection without the faff. If you want your calipers to shout confidence, this one’s a winner

For a paint you have to paint on, it’s pretty decent. I tried both the painting and dabbing technique. It’s quite easy to over apply and seems to self level quite well. These were about 3 coats, one started with quite heavy brush strokes, the other with light dabbing. Dries nicely with a nice hard lacquer effect which seems nice and durable with a nice shine. Would be interesting to see if it works being sprayed on with a compressor.

Great product, just follow the instructions and you can not go wrong. Paint does dry as stated and gives a nice finish. However, I set the car on 4 jack stands and removed my calipers, break pads, clips and guides to do a better job. Hung the calipers using cable ties from the suspension arms, thourghly cleaned all parts to be painted. First coat had dried by the time I had painted everything (took about 30 minutes). Second coat took 20 minutes to complete and I waited 2 hours to let that dry before painting the third and final coat. I did measure out half the hardener and half the paint (25mls and 62.5mls respectively) before hand. I had marked a jam jar to the correct level and mixed that first. Third coat, I mixed the remaining hardener and paint in the tin. Cleaned off the brush between coats with turps and a cloth as it gets quite sticky in the brush. Allowed the paint to harden over 24 hours, reassembled brakes using a torque wrench to the manufactures settings, mounted the wheels and went for a drive applying brakes at regular intervals to bake on the paint. My breaks look great and very happy with the product. Quite important to follow the suggested temperature guide before starting otherwise the paint will not dry properly.

Good paint, worth getting all your wheels off in one go then going round the car, I put 5 coats on and could have possible done with a few more and more drying time between but tbh I got bored of doing it after 5 coats, as for the durability I'll have to post an update in a few month

Bought this product after trying a different brand that re-acted badly on finish. I was a bit dubious after reading some reviews that stated how hard it was to use. However, trying it for myself; I was over the moon with the colour and finish. Its been done a while now and quite a few miles travelled, so I can honestly say.. the longevity is excellent and they still look good. Being a two step mix and reading reviews about the mix setting before they got round all 4 calipers.. I opted to jack the car putting it on stands to access all calipers in one. I thoroughly cleaned off the old paint and cleaned the calipers with the cleaner in the kit. Then began painting each caliper. The base white was first. It seemed chalky and difficult to put on without leaving brush marks (however it didn't matter in the end..as long as you got good coverage). Once that was dry I put on a coat of the mixed neon orange.. First coat looking a little opaque... left it the required drying time and did a second coat. I managed to get around all four calipers in plenty of time.. with plenty enough paint. The photo shows the colour. Vibrant. Lovely coverage and finish. One happy bunny 🙌 Would absolutely recommend.

Excellent kit for painting brakes. Contains everything you need though the brush could be a little bigger. I've read elsewhere that some brake paints can be a little thin as they are solvent based. This kit on the other hand is a two part kit with a hardener meaning the pain will begin to thicken and shortly after mixing the two parts. It can still drip a bit but not as much as others. It also means you have a limited time to paint the brakes. The box states two hours but in reality it was going on three before the pain was too thick to use. I'd suggest getting a friend to help if possible to get the most out of the kit. Tins initially seemed quite small but there was enough to do three full coats on an average sized set of brakes calipers and carriers.If painting on the car then you'll have more than enough for three coats if you can paint quick. Other kits might be cheaper but given you get everything you need to do the job it probably works out about the same overall. Highly recommend this product.

I very rarely leave reviews, the only time I do is if something or someone has exceeded my expectation and this truly has. I spent the time cleaning the callipers first, wire brushing, using a drill attachment and sanding them down etc in preparation. The paint arrived late in the day which was annoying but thats Amazon logistics. Anyway, I used this kit exactly as the instructions said, mixing the paint and hardener, half at a time, leaving for 10 mins before mixing again, the inital and subsequent coats (3 in total) were applied with the brush included in the kit and they were left 15 mins between each coat and this is the finish. I am extremely pleased. It says dry in 24 hours but then fully cured in 7 days. Thankfully life just so happens that the car can be left on stands for the full 7 days to fully harden/cure to ensure a lasting finish.

This stuff is horrible to work with. Undercoat was so thick, similar to tipex my smooth calipers looked so rough once i done the undercoat. On to the green and its so thin ive done 3 coats and still see the white undercoat. Its nowhere near the shade in the pictures so much more lighter. Its a race against time to get them done because every minute the paint hardens and thickens like trying to paint with tar. So you have to weigh up waiting for the coats to dry and aplying another layer. Ive done calipers before using the highstreet brand, 10 times better paint and results.
