What brand of paint did you use, and does it hold up nicely over time??

[@thedbsworkshop1]

Hi there, the brand was K2 brake caliper paint. As for longevity I am not too sure as I had a problem with both calipers bubbling badly.
But I am not sure if this was due to a problem with the bleed nipples or brake fluid eating the paint during the bleeding process.
All looked great until approx 2 weeks later. Then I decided to re-strip & sent off for professional painting.
I would highly recommend the company that I have used a couple of times since now, if you would details let me know. Cheers

@@thedbsworkshop1 The bubbling is usually caused by the old paint, due to a difference in chemical composition, it causes a reaction with the new paint, so unless your 100% the chemical composition of your new and old paint are identical, you need to remove all traces of the old paint also you need to make sure your new paint is oil proof. Iv learned that from a professional car painter.
