It’s important to wait at least 24 hours before you drive the vehicle. If the paint isn’t fully dry, it may not be completely heat resistant. Your car’s brakes get very hot and while dried paint can withstand temperatures of up to 300 degrees, wet paint cannot. Foliatec even says that the full hardening of the paint won’t be complete until up to seven days after it’s applied. This is an important step — the more time you spend preparing the calipers, the better and neater the finish will be. Firstly, take off the front retainer clip and then cover the bleeder valve using masking tape to protect it. Ensure the valve is completely covered. Overlapping the layers of masking tape may help to prevent paint from leaking into the joins. Then, cover the brake hose fittings with tape too.
