Red Brake Caliper - 400ml

🔥 Serious modelers standardise on colours they can trust. Red Brake Caliper - 400ml is formulated for predictable coverage and true colour rendering, so every session ends with a finish you're proud to display.

Red Brake Caliper is a factory-matched solid colour developed for scale modelers who want an accurate, ready-to-use match without mixing or guessing ratios. Solid colours like this one form the backbone of most real-world vehicle finishes, prized for their consistency and ease of touch-up compared to metallic or pearl formulations.

Red Brake Caliper is an aerosol spray paint that is supplied ready-to-use in a pressurised can, formulated for even coverage across larger surfaces. It suits 1:8, 1:10 and 1:12 R/C bodies and larger static models, as well as full-size hobby and DIY respray work where a fine airbrush cartridge would run out too quickly.

💡 Laboratory Application Tips

• Preparation (Primer): A Pink or White Primer is highly recommended. Because red and orange pigments are naturally translucent, a bright, uniform base ensures maximum colour saturation and prevents the paint from losing its original brilliance.
• Painting Technique: Shake the can thoroughly for at least a minute, then spray in light, even passes from roughly 20-30cm, keeping the can moving to avoid pooling. Several thin coats give better coverage and a smoother finish than one heavy pass.
• Finishing: Allow full curing time between coats and before clearcoating; aerosol lacquers can stay workable for longer than airbrushed paint, so patience at this stage avoids solvent wrinkling later.

⚠️ Chromatic Fidelity Notes

Real Scale vs. Miniature: This formula is adjusted to counter the "scale effect," so light reflection on the miniature stays proportional to the real vehicle or object rather than looking artificially pale or dark.

Visual note: Product photos are for reference only. The full three-dimensional depth and true pigment brilliance only become visible once the model is painted and properly clearcoated.
