I've had this product on my Corvette for over three years. It still looks like the day I applied it. Absolutely no fade or discoloration whatsoever. It's important to note that the paint does set up (read 'dries) quickly and will require multiple coats. However, a little preplanning and a thorough reading of the instructions will result in a quality finish. I would suggest that the brush supplied as part of the kit is very coarse and difficult to use in tight areas. I substituted a smooth artist's brush which worked very well and gave smooth results.

I ended up taking off my calipers completely so I didnt use the tape at all but it is included with the kit. The cleaning solution worked awesome. I took a wire brush to my calipers at first and then used the cleaner to get the rest. The paint went on very easily. The brush that comes with the kit is garbage. Make sure you have a decent one before you get started. I ended up doing 5 light layers on paint on my calipers and still had plenty of paint to do another car if I wanted. Left it to dry after I was finished for about 18 hours and then put them on my car. The paint looks great. I've only had it on a few days but its holding up well so far. I havent tried other caliper paints but I would definitely say you could use this and not worry about getting the wrong one. Would recommend.

I have used the spray can version of this paint before and found it to be great. The brush version works just as well. I used the brush version because of the difficulty of masking my car. The only suggestion I have is to toss the provided brush (it sheds bristles) and use a good quality camel hair brush of your own. The cleaner does a good job of preping the surface. The dry paint easily sands off the raised letters on my calipers leaving a professional looking job.
