im not sure how the POR would come out "blotchy" or "uneven" when it's self-leveling and you can add multiple coats..

@kitvexed8229 I am sure my surface prep was not adequate. I plan on prepping them better and trying again. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@dtperformance256 i was thinking the POR actually bonds to the metal, with all the steps in the kit.. whilst the VHT is essentially just spray painting - which is why it came off immediately onto the cardboard. brake fluid will take off the factory paint from your car, so you can't really hold that against POR when exposed. good video either way looking fwd to the next!

@kitvexed8229 AGREE! Brake fluid is mean! I am going to try and prep better and try not to get brake fluid on the calipers. I don’t know of a paint out there that will withstand brake fluid. I need to be more careful in assembly and try not to get it all over everything.

I wonder how the POR15 on a frame would hold up. Anyway, I painted my calipers using VHT but in black. No issues yet, but I did bead blast mine prior to painting using a cheap Harbor Freight blaster and I deburred also to knock off the sharp edges. Thank for another video.

@Your PCMD the frame paint where I spilled brake fluid seems to be ok, but wow the caliper paint peeled off. It may have been my prep but I dont think so. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!!

I use dupli-color caliper paint with good results as long as prep is good but I also use por15 and but on my truck

@allen cobbs thanks for the feedback. I had a few spots that scratched off easily with the VHT. I prepped the metal very good and I don’t thinknit was my fault, but we will see. I didn’t even think of Dupli-Color. I use their vinyl dye and have always had great results. Again thanks for mentioning dupli-color I will keep them in mind.

If you use VHT paint you have to put your calipers in the oven to cure the paint. The brake fluid will damage both the VHT & the Por15. I find your better off painting them while there on the car. But, I would just use Cerakote. Cerakote is away better product. I find that if you have VHT as your base coat, you can paint cheaper non- high heat rust-oleum enamel over top & add a clear coat afterwards... but once you bleed your brakes.. it's game over & all your work down has to be done over. Also, VHT paint will only last a few months. Where as Cerakote will still look good 4 years later & isn't effect by brake fluid. Good video tutorial though. Cheers!

@timothykydd3959 Great information. Thanks for sharing. When this application wears off I will definitely use your advice and re coat the calipers. 100% thanks for sharing and watching. 100% thanks for commenting, that’s how we all learn!!

You have to bake the VHT in an oven in order to cure it.

@lizard944 I did not know that! Should have read the directions! I would think the heat in an oven would melt the piston seals. I will double check! Thanks dor lwtting me know in the comments!!

@@dtperformance256Bit belated, but 200°F at 10 minutes for curing will not melt the EPDM rubber seals. If you think about it, the brakes get pretty hot from regular use alone; especially at 65+ mph.

@benitoloco892 good point!! Brake calipers get alot hotter than most people realize. Thanks for watching and the commment!!
