Hopefully the finish will be ok. I must admit, the first coat went on and i thought it was never gonna cover properly. But it was fine after 2/3 coats.

No... thats about 3 coats. Its a bit of a "pikey paint job" as i have only painted the visible area not the whole caliper surface.

The Foliatec cures really fast with a heat gun on it.

It says not to do that in the instructions  :grin:

Thanks for the heads up with the paint alex... it certainly is the stuff for the job!

Always dries smoother when I use the heat gun.
