Motip Brake Caliper Paint in red is a 400ml aerosol for the classic red caliper look behind open-spoke wheels. The gloss coat resists petrol, chemicals and weather, stays bright in sunlight, and helps the caliper shrug off dirt and corrosion so it is easier to keep clean.

Good to know

• Do I have to take the caliper off? No, many people paint calipers on the car with the wheel removed, but it means careful masking and cleaning off every trace of brake dust and grease first.
• Will it hide a rough, pitted caliper? It has good filling properties, so light pitting softens under a few coats, but scale and loose rust need brushing off first or the new paint will flake with it.
• How do I avoid runs on a curved caliper? Build the colour in light passes from different angles rather than one wet coat; several light coats a few minutes apart give a better finish than one heavy coat, which tends to run.

Which one?
