Anyone tried Foliatec caliper paint.

Still searching? I have used Foliatec 2 times. It works just great. It is a bit time consuming to apply the paint (2 layers) but it is really worth the effort. Surface preparation is the key. It will last for many years and it is brake fluid resistant.

Thanks for the feedback, in the end I went for a POR brake caliper painting kit as I've been generally happy with their other products, was much the same sort of price as the Foilatec kit. Not used it as yet but sorting out my Alcon brakes is my next job on the car so will report back soon.

If your worried about fluid running down the callipers when you crack off the bleed nipples to bleed them out. I've always found that if you PTFE tape the nipple threads first you get no spillage or leaks at all.

I used this often at work as we use a vac bleeder and its a pain in the **** as it can pull air down past the threads and make it look like you still have air in the system.

That's a good idea! Never occurred to me, of course PTFE is brake fluid proof
