20 years of brake caliper paint from FOLIATEC®.com - 25 different tones

FOLIATEC®.com will be 2017 years old in 35, whereby the current spelling of the company name was introduced as a web address exactly a decade ago. Between these two anniversaries there is also the 20th birthday of the legendary this year Brake caliper paints to celebrate, which was first found in the catalog in 1997. The time was well chosen, because more and more vehicles had disc brakes all around and therefore brake calipers on all four wheels. Ever larger and airier aluminum wheels with sometimes huge spaces conquered the scene and thus offered insights into their mostly dirty gray back room.

Thanks to trendsetters FOLIATEC®.com finally got color there too. In the meantime, more and more car manufacturers are offering colored brake calipers ex works, but this offer is usually only available for particularly sporty ones and limited to one or at least a very few colors. FOLIATEC®.com in 2017, on the other hand, offered the proud number of 25 different tones. Among them are a dozen shiny colors such as RS-blue or power green, six metallic colors from prestige gold up to elephant graywho have favourited three matte tones Racing Rosso, midnight black and combat green as well as four neon variants. The respective container is sufficient for four brake calipers, i.e. a complete vehicle.

However, the product not only makes the huge selection of colors a “hidden champion of the tuning scene”, it also makes it easy to use. Usually working on the brakes is only for the specialist. But there for attaching the FOLIATEC®.com Brake caliper lacquers do not need to be removed or converted, even the layman can safely pick up a brush. And it's that simple: First remove the rust from the brake caliper with a steel brush, then remove oil and brake fluid residues with the FOLIATEC®.com Brakes special cleaner remove. Mix paint and hardener for your own painting process and apply in one or two layers with a brush. For a clean result, all parts adjacent to the brake caliper are taped beforehand.

Especially easy is the application of the paint with the Brake caliper paint set, which in addition to the 2-component paint system in the respective color, also contains the brakes special cleaner, disposable gloves, steel brush, brush and spatula. The last four utensils are also available as alternatives Brake caliper paint assembly set contain. If you prefer to spray instead of painting, simply order the new one at the desired tone Brake caliper lacquer special thinner and then reaches for the spray gun.

Since disc brakes get very hot in use, they convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle almost completely into heat, is the FOLIATEC®.com Brake caliper paint naturally extremely heat-resistant. This, as well as its high resistance to weather influences, chemicals, oils and corrosion, also make it interesting for a wide range of other applications in vehicles.

Due to its versatility, its great popularity and the high styling factor, the Brake caliper paint in the variant GT-blue now also a place of honor at the newly redesigned FOLIATEC®.com Millennium Roadster. This was built around the turn of the millennium and, after extensive restyling, is now accompanying the brand through its anniversary year. After all, the futuristic vehicle is just as timelessly up-to-date as the “hidden champion of the tuning scene” who adorns its brake calipers.
