Painted the calipers yesterday in cooler than reccomended temps, letting it sit a couple days before I drive it. I can't stand it. Made sure I'd have relatively not much to do out of the house for these couple of days, and now I'm trying to find excuses on why I "have" to leave to myself. Withdrawals I suppose!

you'll cure the calipers quickly if you take the car on the road, run it up to 100mph and then brake hard.... do that a few times :drive:

yeah it's ok as long as they are dry to the touch. Then do what Galaxie said. I painted mine, let em drive for 2 hours, then drove it like I stole it and it's holding up fine.

Based on past posts, don't you always drive it that way Dustin?

I agree though, as long as they're dry to the touch, a bit of heat will actually help the paint cure.

Drove it.

And God created Duplicolor caliper paint, and it was good.

Stuff looks awsome, attracts even more attention now. Thing is real class.
