As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Caliper Paint Primer?

Anyone have an recommendations? I've got some VHT Satin Black Caliper Paint that I'm going to attempt to paint the calipers with. I notice the VHT website recommends one of their engine primers to go underneath the caliper paint. Not much of a problem, except I don't know if my little computer case heat box can attain the 650 degrees needed for the final curing. Or the 400 for the second curing. The 250 degree initial, I should be ok on. I imagine that the 1800 degree Flameproof primer probably goes a long way towards longevity for the caliper paint, but is it really necessary?
 
the primer bonds to the metal the paint dosent it bonds to the primer
 
I would use regular self-etching primer. VHT and Duplicolor both make it.
 
you dont need vht paint on calipers. just prep them well and use regular spray paint, or i used enamel spray paint. no curing needed,lasts for years and is resistant to brake fluid
