VHt caliper paint on bare alloy calipers.... Or primer first

[sparki]

Tin doesn't say so I'm inclined to use primer first..... But it's all finished and its 18.29 on Sunday.... Nowhere open! So, I have VHt caliper paint and bare alloy calipers that are nice and clean and masked up ready to go.... Do I get some etch primer tomorrow or slap on the paint onto bare alloy.... Discuss

Cheers males n lasses

My penny's worth says you require a high temp primer Steve.

I have never used primer with vht paint. Not had a problem. give it a light dusting first and then heavier coats.

i dont bother with primer with vht or with bbq paint

Cheers guys... Think I'm going to go the no primer route and bake it in the oven. The can usually mentions primer /no primer needed but this doesn't so got me thinking... Possibly overly so

Thanks again...

I just got my rear one done in 2-pack by a local guy. As an aside he did say he can put any paint required (2-pack) into an aerosol for spraying yourself, which will be a more durable finish than shop spray paint. About £15 a can.
