Default Legend Five recommended applying the caliper paint at above 70 degrees f..(M)

Only problem is that I don't have a garage and it is currently around 40 degrees. Do I need to wait for a very long time? Can I just apply it now anyways? Input is appreciated.

Maybe you can just do one at a time and use a heat lamp before you do it and while it dries.

best of luck with the painting. I'm thinking about doing this myself.

How much paint is required to do all four calipers? Do you plan on taking the calipers apart to do the painting?

The paint came in two seperate containers which I have to mix together. They are already put into correct ratios so all I have to do is put the same amount from each container together, using only enough to paint one caliper at a time because it sets up very quickly. I am not going to take off my calipers to do this, and will simply mask off everything very well that I do not want painted.
