The paint couldn't keep up with my racecar. Repeatedly slamming the brakes from 130 mph will do that sometimes

eastwest2300 · 04-30-2013, 08:37 PM

nooooo bro, no! you used a cheap paint, that wasnt made for high temps.

dmhenderson · 04-30-2013, 08:50 PM

Hi-temp clear fixes that right up. Well it won't fix it but it'll prevent it.

eastwest2300 · 04-30-2013, 08:56 PM

Well if you want this job done the "right" way, you'd have them powder coated, it'll actually cost you more at most paint shops for people that attempt to paint it themselves, because the person thats gonna powder coat them will have to strip off all the crappy paint just to get them ready for the process of powder coating.

Even on the sport brakes, powder coating will fade. His calipers would certainly do no better.

What are you talking about, the Z car is a true sports car, ready for the track from the factory.

b1adesofcha0s · 04-30-2013, 09:27 PM

No it was definitely high temp caliper paint. Just not enough to handle track duty with a track brake pad. I don't really care though. I only painted my car because I had to take them off anyway to swap the pads. It only cost me like $50 to paint them. No big deal.

m4a1mustang · 04-30-2013, 09:29 PM

Yep. Track work stresses components more than you could imagine, Dee.

You don't really ever realize how much till you actually get on the track yourself. After cooling for 5-10 mins after one of my sessions, my brakes were still at like 400 degrees.

All true sports cars experience brake fade, fuel starvation, and oil-temp-induced limp mode on real race tracks. LOOK IT UP
