Thread: Yellow Brake Calipers are Too Dark

Hey everyone,
Recenlty I purchased a DupliColor yellow caliper paint kit and was very excited to paint my calipers. However, once I opened the paint can, I was decently disappointed with the color of the yellow. When searching online, I chose DupliColor, because their yellow appeared to be bright. The package I received in the mail even showed the bright yellow caliper color on the box that I was looking for. However, the paint is much darker than advertised. I thought that maybe that if I applied a few coats, the color might dry differently. However, I tested the color on a scrap piece of metal in my garage and to no avail, the color did not match the packaging. I'm looking for a yellow that is bright like the package suggests, not dark like the actual paint looks once applied. Does anyone have similar experiences to this or have suggestions on products that offer a bright yellow? Any help would be appreciated. I've heard good things about G2 caliper paint.

Would you mind posting a pic of the yellow on the metal? I too am about to purchase that yellow duplicolor caliper paint and would like to see what it looks like. Thanks

I'm trying to post some images, but I keep receiving an annoying message saying my files exceed the kb limit. I know for a fact that the images do not surpass the kb size, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.

Use the smallest size. Always works for me

The image is only 54.6 kb, which isn't very big. I'm not sure why I keep receiving an error message claiming that the file is too large.

Can you send it through email? Avoncuster23@att.net

Yeah that makes sense Jakescoots. Thanks for that!
