So, forgive me for my ignorance.. but.. we all know you're never supposed to get brake fluid on paint because it will destroy it...my question is..is "caliper paint" a special paint that will not dissolve/ruin if brake fluid gets on it when bleeding the brakes? or do you still have to bleed them with a bottle and hose?

 

arent stock cobra callipers painted?

 

nope.

 

mmmmm, i know chevy does the corvette ones in red now, im sure that has to be resistant to brake fluid so there has to be something out there

 

it's a heat resistent paint is what is my understanding. Calipers tend to get a little warm at times. I have no idea if fluid will hurt it. Just save the brush and they give you lots of paint to redo them if it does.

Ps. I did mine in about 10 mins. And no I didn't take off the wheel. A steady hand and a rag in case you slop. The only time a question is stupid is if you already know the answer.
